[Jay Wolt]

Neat stuff!

Had 2 Fatima display pieces, the smaller matted one (pictured) which I gave to a buddy in L.A.
I kept the larger one which is about 2' x 3' and has the exact same image

[MVSNYC]

Matt (MGHPro)- those are incredible pieces! are they all yours? would love to hear a bit about there origins...

Jay- i owe you a phone call, nice Fatima, BTW!

[MGHPro]

Yes, all of those pieces are mine. The Gowdy Tuxedo sign came out of Mastro a few years ago, while the yellow Matty Tuxedo came off of ebay a long time ago. The other Matty tuxedo ad came via an ebay BIN. The Ruth Old Gold piece came out of an estate in Florida, The quaker oats from Hunt and the Bloomers piece came off of ebay at some point along the way.

Forgot that I picked this up in the spring. The fact that Lajoie is pictured is a bonus.

Corey:

That Peach Gloves Ad Poster is sick (in a good way, of course!) Interesting that they put out such an elaborate ad, and their gloves are nowhere to be found today. I look for vintage gloves/mitts all the time, and NEVER see that brand. Does anyone have a Peach example, in which they can post a photo?

Corey, if you can locate one, it would be very cool to display both the poster and glove together...

[benjulmag]

Here's the definition of glove from the following link: http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictiona...baseball+glove


"glove, hand covering with a separate sheath for each finger. The earliest gloves, relics of the cave dwellers, closely resembled bags. Reaching to the elbow, they were most probably worn solely for protection and warmth. Although there is some indication of the use of separate fingers in an Egyptian relic, most early gloves were much like mittens, usually of skin with the fur inside. The glove as we know it today dates from the 11th cent. In England after the Norman conquest, gloves, richly jeweled and ornamented, were worn as a badge of distinction by royalty and by church dignitaries. The glove became meaningful as a token; it became custom to fling a gauntlet, the symbol of honor, at the feet of an adversary, thereby challenging his integrity and inviting satisfaction by duel. In the 12th cent. gloves became a definite part of fashionable dress, and ladies began to wear them; the sport of falconry also increased their use. In the 13th cent. the metal gauntlet appeared as a part of armor. Gloves became accessible to the common people, and their popularity grew. Scented gloves, an innovation that was to last until the 18th cent., came into vogue. The 16th and 17th cent. saw extravagantly ornamented gloves; they were of leather, linen, silk, or lace and were jeweled, embroidered, or fringed. After the 17th cent. the emphasis was on proper fit, and gloves were less ornamental. The first known glove maker was in Perth, Scotland, after 1165; a guild of glove makers was incorporated in France in 1190, and one in London c.1600. In the United States, glove making began in 1760 when a settlement of Scottish glovers was established at Gloversville, N.Y.; New York state has since been the center of the glove industry in the United States. Modern gloves are made of fabric, plain or knitted; of leather from almost every variety of animal hide; and of rubber and plastic used in surgical, laboratory, and household work."


So now at least we know where the name gloversville comes from. I agree it would be nice to have a Peach brand of glove to go along with the poster.

Here are a few links. Peach examples are difficult to find.

There was a Peach glove posted a long time ago, the last time this poster was offered for sale. I was in contact for a while with a lady from Gloversville that sold me a bunch of Johnstown/Gloversville baseball photos whose mother worked at the factory. She had no memorabilia from the company though.

Green with envy regarding Scott's '09 Sox piece. Very nice indeed.

Here is an original advertising piece to celebrate the N145 Duke Cross Cut Beautiful Ladies cards. It was found in an estate right outside of Durham.

[GrayGhost]

This thread is awesome. Thanks everyone, keep those great items coming.

[canjond]

Note: this is not my piece but always has been one of my favorite.

[perezfan]

Baseball and Beer are always a great combo, and here are 2 of my favorites.

The A's piece looks to be modeled after Jimmie Foxx and the Reds piece after a very young Pete Rose... but probably more wishful thinking than fact. Either way, the Reds/Wiedemann piece is seldom-seen with the dangling bottom portion...

[CarltonHendricks]

Corey, Could you please elaborate on that c. 1912 Peach Gloves advertising poster you posted on page 3. What are the details of that, dimensions, printer, came out of, etc. I looked into it a little Apparently there was a trimmed example REA sold, link here.

And in another example is referenced reference on Antiques and the Arts "a circa 1910 Peach Baseball Gloves advertising display sold for $35,187" I'm guessing that was your example.

Of course that's a whole different level of memorabilia not for the timid. Can you post some closer in photos of it? Acorrding to the REA listing "The display features full-length illustrations of nearly every top star of the game including Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, Frank Baker, Nap Lajoie, Chief Bender, Ed Walsh, and Roger Bresnahan, as well as managers John McGraw and Connie Mack, who are pictured seated in the dugout."

I'm not a glove guy, but that's the first I've heard of J.A. Peach Gloves. And to think they lasooed all those big names to endorse it, that's amazing. Did somebody just change the name from A.J. Reach to J.A. Peach or something? LOL

[benjulmag]

The poster is approximately 20" x 30", fairly substantial for an advertising poster. It is not the one you describe that REA (when they were part of Mastro Auctions) sold in 2001. That one, while looking beautiful, had substantial restoration. I know the consignor and had seen it in its original state. As I best recall, there was substantial inpainting done. A portion of the poster was also missing, which was rebuilt and inpainted.

The one I own I acquired in a private transaction several years ago. It was a fresh find and had not been previously known to exist. The condition was amazing for an advertising poster. The colors are very bright and show no signs of fading. Except for cleaning and the repair of one or two pinholes in the margins where the poster was orginally mounted, nothing else was done. No inpainting was performed; all the colors are original.

Including mine, I am aware of three copies. Besides being colorful and displaying important players of the era, the poster is the only chromolithgraphic advertising piece from that era of which I am aware (other than the T202 Hassan triple folders piece whose two side panels depicts Cobb and Mathewson). In contrast, the previous golden era of card issues (the late 1880's) had several outstanding chromolithographic advertising pieces.

I do not have closeups to share. Sorry.
