1904 Worlds Fair - Plows Candy
Didn't even realize this when I posed the Croft & Wilbur Liberty Bell from the 1876 Worlds Fair/Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia but I have another Worlds Fair advertising piece related to the manufacturers of our beloved baseball cards.
Here is a Plows Candy souvenir postcard from the 1904 Worlds Fair in Saint Louis where they were located.

I was doing some research an came back across this incredible thread. I figure it's worth a bump.
I'm surprised to _not_ see any of the original Sporting Life ads featuring T206. Does anyone here have one (or more) of them?

Prior to WWII, the BOWMAN Gum Co. advertised their Sportscards by their "PLAY BALL" Trademark. When BOWMAN introduced their 1st BB card set
after WWII, they continued the "PLAY BALL" Trademark on their wax-pack wrapper. Stay tuned for 1949 - 1953 issues. 1948 Bowman 1-cent wrapper  . . . .  The printing of the 1948 BOWMAN set is very interesting. The printers took their original 36-card production sheet and produced a 48-card set from it. In their 1st press runs, they printed cards #1 - 36. For their 2nd press runs, they modified their printing plates by replacing 12 cards in the first group of 36 with cards #37 - 48. The 36-card uncut sheet displayed here represents the 2nd print run. Cards #37 - 48 are interspersed among the lower number cards. Therefore, this process created Double-Prints of 24 low numbers....Single-Prints of 12 low numbers....and, another set of Single-Prints of the 12 high numbers. TED Z T206 Reference .

1951 BOWMAN 24-count Wax-pack box (this box is actually 3-dimensional. I scanned it in 2 dimensional form in order to completely display it here).
BOWMAN repeated many of the images from their 1950 set, added names on the front of the cards, and printed a tremendous number of these cards. Note that they advertised "340 major league players"....however, they printed 324 cards in this set. ..................................     ..................................   .

More good stuff Ted. I really like the variety of your point of sale items and how they tie into your card collection.
I hadn't listed these in this thread yet. A couple extremely large original OBAK wooden shipping crates. Grand kids included in the shot to show just how large these items are.  I'll more than likely have a custom lid made for them which will be laid on top of the crates so that they can be used as additional display tables where other related OBAK advertising such as these can be displayed along with them.
