I meant to also note I added a lot of my recent pickups onto my home page, link above. Some I've previously posted here on Net54.

I went to the Sacramento Antiques Fair yesterday and nada....not a thing...but Saturday I picked up the 14" x 11" Handsome Dan print below off eBay from Scott Gaynor...Handsome Dan was/is the Yale bulldog mascot..I already have two of the tins so was just after the print....You can see photos of "Thee" real c1890 Handsome Dan still standing tall in person. It's on the last page of my Brimfield trip story in which I visited Yale and photographed their trophies...scroll 1/2 way down the page in the link below.

Yesterday a very cool 18" x 9 5/8" felt banner featuring HD sold on eBay for $140.00, see below. I had this once very very early on in my collecting but sold it...one of the coolest banners...It's fairly rare, you don't see them often...but the print I got above is way more rare....first one I've ever seen.
