That's a beautiful Obak piece Tony. Amazing. Too bad there wasn't a card sticking out of the open pack. That would've been unreal.

ATC tobacco brand...... Ty Cobb Smoking Tobacco




. .



I say this Cobb is definitely a T206....what say you ?

Before you disagree.....consider the following.....the Demmitt or O'Hara (St louis variations) "stand alone", as does this Ty Cobb/ TY COBB card. Therefore,
the argument that this Cobb card is a unique subject (unlike any other T206 cards) does not hold water. Plus, evidence confirms that it was issued in 1910.

I'm surprised nobody ever posted this here:



Viceroy cigarettes Mickey Mantle advertising sign (probably from 1957). I believe these signs were displayed on the sides of buses.

The above sign does not belong to me. It was owned by Jay Kemplin and he sold it back in 2018.

Default Croft & Wilbur 1876 Centennial Liberty Bell

Recently picked up the following piece which I was pretty happy to acquire.

From my research, it is one of the first documented candy containers having been distributed at the first Worlds Fair (Centennial Exposition) in Philadelphia in 1876. The container held candy produced by Croft & Wilbur which was the predecessor to Croft & Allen of E92 fame.

Samuel Croft eventually split up with H.O. Wilbur in the 1880s. Wilbur went on to concentrate on producing Chocolate candy and his company became famous for producing "Wilburs Buds" candies similar to Hersheys kisses.

After the split with H.O. Wilbur, Samuel Croft formed a partnership with George Allen in the 1880s to manufacture candy and cocoa related products that included Croft's Cocoa and Croft's Candy which we are familiar with from the backs of E92 cards.

Default Great Croft item!

Had a few neat things from the later brand in the past - that is way cool... It's the ancillary items to my core collections that bring it all together.

Yes that is my understanding. Or a bench maybe. It’s Double sided. I have had it for years, long before I started collecting prewar.
