Show Off Your Advertising Signs
 
One of the things I love looking at is advertising signs or posters featuring our favorite sports stars. I would love to pick up a few Yankees pieces one day, but don't know how to go about grabbing one, where to get the or how to tell a repo from a real sign.

That said, post what you all have. Vintage, modern everything in between. Baseball, football, hockey,basketball. Please post them here.

Great signs guys.

Funny, I always thought the Giants were on WOR-TV, channel 9 here in NYC. Always thought WPIX was exclusive to the Yankees back in the days. You learn something new everyday.

Circa 1939-1940 Cincinnati Reds Bruck Beer Poster with Vander Meer
 
1 Attachment(s)
One of my favorite pieces that I don't currently have displayed is this Bruck's Beer advertising poster with Johnny Vander Meer.

I have been told that a former employee of Bruck's saved this poster after it had been on display somewhere in Cincinnati. Bruck's Beer was apparently one of the stadium advertisers at now defunct Crosley Field for many years. This was a pickup at The National a few years ago and it came from the long-time outstanding Cincinnati Reds collection of Steve Wolter (Sports Investments).
Dimensions of the poster is 18" x 24"

perezfan 06-21-2017 01:53 PM

That's a great piece, Scott...

I was under-bidder on a similar one over 10 years ago.... and have not seen one since. It was NRMT, amazingly. I sure wish (in retrospect) that I pursued it more aggressively.

Great posts by all.... I think maybe Bob should have his own thread, though ;)

yankeesjetsfan 06-22-2017 07:30 AM

Such awesome pieces guys. I am digging those SF Giants and that 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers Schaefer Beer piece. I remember as a kid Schaefer became the sponsor for the Mets, which is how I associate Schaefer with. I remember in college, my buddy and I used to have steak & bad beer nights and Schaefer was one of the beers on the menu.

Mike,

Unsure if this would help, but since I collect Orioles items I typically search for "Orioles sign or banner" on eBay and search just Orioles items w/in auctions. I've picked up several pieces over the years in this way. Also, let collectors and dealers know what you collect and make connections and often time friendships will be established. I'll have people routinely tell me about items available as well as items they've seen or heard about that I may be interested in.

yankeesjetsfan 06-23-2017 04:41 PM

Great advice sir. Thank you so much.

In the world of antique advertising signs porcelain is sort of king...Over the last five or so years I've developed a taste for them...only thing is antique sports related signs are rare to begin with...but porcelain ones hardly exist they're so few...However the Lord blessed me and I've gotten the ones below...I found that Slazengers’ Tennis Racquets one on an Australian website...Likely produced in England...I was able to date it to about 1903 based on the racquet...on really heavy metal plate...

I'm pretty proud of this Collegian Clothes sign below...just got it last winter...advertising signs featuring track are very rare...So when I spotted it in a brick and mortar auction I was all over it...bid live by phone...the guy on the other end was taken back the bidding kept going up...I think he thought it would go for nothing...I kind of thought so too but somebody else spotted it and I had to pay real money...Auction house told me it had been found behind a framed picture....that explained why it was nice and bright...though slightly trimmed...

Carlton you are correct about porcelain sports signs being rare. I should have previously mentioned it in case it wasn't seen by others when you originally posted http://sportsantiques.com/spalding_bb_flange.htm about the porcelain Spalding baseball sign I picked up. If I'm not mistaken it's the only porcelain baseball related sign that I am aware of. Gas and oil signs, of which I also collect, were more commonly made of porcelain to withstand outdoor elements.

The Old Gold Sign here is new old stock as the cardboard stand up on the back is still flat on the reverse.

Thanks all for your approval of the Ratch Peerless...Got it at the 2011 National from Kanuit...who got it from the late Tony Bussineau...Yeah it's not mint by any means...It looks like some kid scratched the reverse paint to appear they are smoking...fortunately it's faint and doesn't effect it too much...see link above for it and everything I got that show...

"Really" like the YooHoo ad; such great stars pictured on a product that I really enjoy.

I've seen the Rawlings Mantle advertisement before, but didn't know there were two different ones. I guess one is relatively early (due to the earlier signature usage) and the other later in career.

Since football and hockey have appeared on the thread, I think I'm OK to show this early 70s Seattle Supersonics Lenny Wilkens grocery store mobile. Measures around 4' x2 1/2'.

You all have inspired me to find something cool and advertising related today! Just picked this one up on ebay, it's a 1930's Lucky Strike advertising piece with an actor dressed up in his hockey gear. The idea is you bend the piece and stick two smokes through the holes to create his legs. Awesome!

I don't have anything that can hold a candle to what has been shown, but I'll keep it going...

No need to apologize for that, Mark! That sign would be at home in my collection. The turn of the century stuff is amazing but out of my budget.
