Really cool motorcycle photo, have you taken it out of the frame yet? I've found some interesting things behind photos I've bought. It's interesting how the front fender scoops outward behind the front wheel.

Not much of a story, just have 2 other knives that are similar, one of the 1914 Championship A's and the other is a bunch of all stars, the one I just picked up has presidents on the back including Lincoln as you can see

The knife with Cobb, Lajoie and the presidents was made by Novelty Cutlery of Novelty Cutlery postcard fame.

Fabulous vintage oddball.

The antique motorcycle photos posted earlier are awesome! (I am a full time vintage motorcycle parts seller so it was nice to see here).

I started looking for local Northern Michigan Baseball items and found this recently. It is a fairly large photo measuring 11 x 14 with the backing. The team is c.1909 Empire Greys.

I would really love to find something from my hometown Boyne City from 1911 when Lou Criger was the player/manager of the Boyne City Boosters.

I picked this up in a local auction today. It shows an early image of Babe Ruth, although he is erroneously identified as Hubert (Dutch) Leonard. The publication is dated 3/4/1916, so the image is most likely from 1915. Lelands auctioned an example a couple years ago.

Now that's a good local auction!

Maybe an add-on mud flap?

Here is a new pickup that I already have earmarked for a new space that I have created.
This is a circa 1930's-1940's original sign that originated from Pittsfield, MA.
The message says it all.
Perfect for my collection that includes a large sampling of vintage tickets.
Now up on my wall...
