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!

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!

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

Man, I LOVE stuff like that ^^^^ that has survived with original tags or whatever. Fantastic!

[ooo-ribay]

Here's something not so fantastic

Cardboard standup with John "the Count" Montefusco.

The U of W pillowcase is very nice as well. Not as nice as the football piece, but still probably nicer than anything I have 😳

Also, I'd justify this being an advertising piece; it's plugging the school.

Rob,

"Really" like the calendars you posted. Looks like you have quite a few. Also, I think earlier in the thread you posted others. Wish the O's would have done more (maybe they did and I don't know about them). Makes for nice displays in my opinion especially when it lists the year.

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.

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.

Dude?

Never saw that one before (or in Heritage for that matter). I thought it might have been Wonka anyway........

Wow that is great!!!......they had it a long time...fifteen years!!!

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

[ruth-gehrig]

Completely forgot I had this piece. Some type of printer's proof. 1955 Bohemian Baseball is written on the backside

Something about that Hat in the Sweet Caporal Poster looks very X-rated to me. Early form of subliminal advertising?

Regardless, she looks very pleased to be wearing it.

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.
