The source for this and other Lajoie posters, tins etc were the Lajoie Baseball Guides. They were published 1906, 1907 and 1908.

All of the advertisements in the guides where endorsements by Lajoie.

You can find out more and see the original examples of the ad pages here

So when you see there type items, most if not all are just enlargements from some other source with a picture or other stuff added.

The problem we as collectors have is that we want these things just like the farm tool handle bats, to be real especially after we buy them
