St. Paul Saints Cardboard Countertop Schedule Display, ca. 1940

I recently purchased this extremely rare and unique silk-screened countertop schedule sign. The piece was likely never circulated as there was an error at the bottom with the city “Lexington, Kentucky”. Other known examples have the name of the team’s ballpark printed underneath the team name. The St. Paul Saints played their games at Lexington Park. It’s likely that something was lost in translation during printing and new signs were distributed. I am particularly excited about adding this sign as it’s only the second vintage advertising piece that I have seen St. Paul Saints related. The other was a barnstorming broadside c. 1926 promoting a game between Babe Ruth and the New York Yankees vs. St. Paul. That sold for hefty $12k!
