Do you have that tired, languid feeling??
So long story short, I collect vintage ephemera themed around my hometown...postcards, advertisements, photos, etc. I purchased this promotional booklet which was distributed by the local drugstore some 130 years ago, circa 1891. It’s nothing special, basically a notepad with a few pages of 1891 well known people endorsing the product advertised, one of the million useless products promising to get rid of all that ails you...in this case, Paine’s Celery Compound.
Well I was pleasantly surprised to find a celebrity endorsement page from non other than George Wright with a photo and facsimile signature. Being in the Boston area, he was a local celebrity around the 1890s. Just wanted to share but also wondering if some collectors out there might have some pre-1900 baseball player endorsed products like this. Obviously there were tobacco products but wondering what other products might have some interesting endorsement. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Made me think . . . at the the 20th century the miracle ingredient in a lot of medical products to avoid fatigue was cocaine. Any ballplayers throw their name behind that?
