Carlton: That Stanford/Cal poster is just insane. Don't know how I missed it in your earlier post. I love the eclectic nature of your pickups.

thanks
Thanks all for the kind words…
Rob/ooo-ribay...Yes that Argentor catalog is from my library…you have a very good eye…it’s insanely rare…never seen or heard of another…got it out of Istanbul…I speculate many jewelery stores in Vienna and other occupied regions during WWII that had them were plundered and shuttered by the Nazi’s and few of these catalogs survive…I have four or five sports statues that are in it…Speed Ice Skater…Motorcycle rider…that swimmer…a wrestling group…and I think another I forget… Matt/Kzoo…Agree…turn over every rock is my policy… Jim H / jimtigers65...Last Sacramento fair was weak you didn’t miss much…I did a pre-arranged trade for this large color tinted 1925 yachting photo…I’m sure it was taken on San Francisco bay…but exactly where I won’t know till I can get time to research it…The Golden Gate Bridge was opened in 1937 and east of it the Bay Bridge opened in 1936…so this photo of the bay would pre-date both…I’m thinking that might be Alcatraz on the left and Mt. Diablo on the right in the far distance…to be confirmed though…the only other thing I got was a ski trail sign…crazy I know but may fit in good with my Alpine antiques… Joe Hunter…thanks glad you like the 04’ Big Game poster…

Pickups
As you all know one of the most exciting things in collecting is finding something you’ve never seen before…I stumbled onto this c1940 souvenir napkin dispenser on eBay recently and bought it. I had never seen one before so knew it was rare…So how do you date something like this?. You start by looking for an expert long time Indy collector…I learned there is a collector group called The National Indianapolis 500 Collectors Club. I located a former president of the club president John Darlington…part of the conversation below…. Question from Carlton: Have you seen other examples? I’ve been collecting 35 years…never seen one…Can you tell me the year it was made and sold. Anything else you can tell me would be great to know. Answer from John: I too got one of these off of eBay about 15-20 years ago for less than $50 but, it was missing the holder in the back and the condition is a bit worse (see photo). Including yours and mine I've seen one or two others. Based on the style of car depicted this is ca. 1940 and as to what it cost then, a program was 25 cents and tickets were $1 and up so maybe in that ballpark - 50 cents? $1? Guess if you could afford a ticket you could afford 50 cents or $1 for a souvenir. The fact John had only seen three including his own confirmed my intuition how rare it is…The only marking is a transfer ware label partly worn away. Fortunately you can make out “Souvenir of Indianapolis “ “ “” I would speculate there was a “500” after Indianapolis…as it’s the only thing I can think of that would fit the space left…. Below are other Indy 500 things from my collection
