Well, this ain't a Tobacco, Candy, or Gum advertisement....however, I guess we can loosely classify it as a "Bread" adv.
Toots Shors restaurant in mid-Manhattan was the quintessential "hang-out" for Sports celebrities (and, of course many
other celebrities from 1903 to 1977).
I'd date this gathering at Toots Shor's circa 1952 **. Nine of these 14 ballplayers started their BB careers in the deadball era.
Check-out the menu for that day
** Note......My guess as to the date of this gathering is based on the passing away of Arlie Latham in Nov 1952. Arlie was a very colorful guy.
Arlie is depicted on several OLD JUDGE cards (N172). And, T206 cards (460-only series).
