Mine are pretty much easy to attain.

The Helmar is a recent pickup.

The Turkey Red and Egyptienne Straights are favorites of mine.

I couldn't resist the Pabst display since it went really cheap - no one wanted it - think I paid 24 bucks for it. And, again, another favorite - the Piedmont chair.

I had closeups of these on photo bucket - a real friend to collectors - so I'm gonna have to find another way to post in the future where a web doesn't "host" them.

This one is a 'double sided' die cut heavy stock cardboard and a favorite with the Yanks fans.

I've seen these a few times, but this one was especially pristine so the bidding was heavy - I remembering thinking I "paid too much for this!"

and here's a Helmar cardboard sign - the white doesn't "blue" with a black light, so we know it's earlier than the 50s.

Mike, the Knickerbocker sign is very cool.

Here are a few more of mine:

kid4hof03 · #4 09-20-2017, 04:05 PM

I think this one is my favorite

Mike, my jaw hit the floor when I saw that Yankees Knickerbockers Ad. Owning anything Knickerbockers related to the Yankees is a dream because they were both owned by the same owner, Col. Jacob Ruppert. Plus it looks to be in fantastic shape.

Abe,

Love those Bernie Williams ads.

I have often thought about trying to pry an ad off when I see a Yankees one in the subways, train stations or buses, lol.

Mike

Mike, I actually have a few old subway posters, they are huge so I haven't been able to display them yet, will dig some out to take pictures at some point. I agree with you though, every time I see a cool advertising piece I try to figure out how to get my hands on it!

ksfarmboy · #8 09-20-2017, 05:11 PM

I need one of those Brooks Robinson Rawlings posters. Those are fantastic!

Thanx to Abe also.

Hiya Mike - I agree!

This item came out of a NY dealer - I've never seen one in this kind of shape - don't remember what I paid, but I'll bet it was in the 300 buck range for sure.

And, (edit), I just looked up the auction invoice online - it was a whopping $393!

I guess I must've wanted it bad - it was back in 2010.

Enjoyed all of the items you pictured. Would love to see the room you have going on there. Looks really neat and organized (unlike my room). By the way, what color did you use for the walls? I have a grayish wall, but that looks even better.

Hiya Mark

I'm in the middle of finishing up a room in the back and then reorganizing the front office.

The back - waiting for the flooring to come in.

Instead of blinds, shutters painted the same as the wall is going it - so as not to distract from the shelving.

I don't have a lot of pics of the front office right now - it's really in a temporary state - I have GU bats and jerseys - and haven't decided what I'm going to do with them yet?

I checked the bottle of left over paint from the painter: it's Sherwin Williams Kaffee 6104 - it's a dark brown color; the back room is a dark beige color.

I just got this back from the U of W Husky Hall of Fame, where it has been displayed since 2002. They made a quality full sized copy for the display and gave me back the original. It is around 2 1/2 x 3 feet on thick board.

Go Dawgs!

yankeesjetsfan · #13 09-21-2017, 08:52 AM

Mike, that set up is going to look pretty nice once it's all done.

And I though the Boyd sign was nice and now the U of W Olympic Gasoline; very nice!

perezfan · #15 09-21-2017, 07:15 PM

Agree... that UW Sign is off the charts. Love the leather helmets and Bumble Bee Sleeves. And what a cool football scene!

Dave-
Do you know the exact year?

Simply gorgeous!

Hi Mark,

The sign is from 1926. Glad you like it!

Here's another cool early U of W football item, a pillowcase with the original price tag from The Bon Marche (now Macy's for you non-Seattleites) still attached.

Not really an "advertising sign", sorry kids

stone193 · #17 09-23-2017, 09:57 PM

Thanx Mark and Mike (yankee) for the kind words.

The hard thing is to get as much of one's stuff out there without it just being too cluttered.

I stink at that.

My wife has been offering her assistance.

ooo-ribay · #18 09-24-2017, 01:02 PM

I was given this...always nice!

This shows the graphics work done to produce a couple of Giants themed Budweiser ads. In both cases, there are graphics on board, overlaid with refinements on "mylar" and more refinements on a vellum sheet.

^^^^ That signature doesn't look "right" to me.

Mike,

Both rooms look amazing (even w/o the flooring in the one room). I like how the colors contrast really well. I'm trying to do something similar in my room/den. I used to have pictures all over the place covering every square inch; now I'm doing it where it's a bit more organized and somewhat professional looking. It's still a little cluttered in areas, but it's definitely better. Would love to see the room after it's finished and all of those built-ins and shelves have display pieces.
