Estate Sale
Man, you got that at an estate sale?...That looks like one of the nicest lemon peels I've seen..the condition is super..the seams look dark and such good shape. I haven't paid attention to prices of them for many years since I got one, but I'm surprised they go for only $400-$800.
Say what's that plate on the right? is that a football illustrated on the plate?

Lemon Peel
Carlton, thanks, Yes it was an estate auction pickup. I used to hit 2 to 3 estate auctions a week, but having our first child this past year has made them alot tougher to get to; but my dad has been picking up the slack hitting alot of them lately. In the past month he has picked up this lemon peel, and a ring bat (the one I showed a couple of weeks ago - the reach red ring)
When I was researching lemon peels, I couldn't find many recent auction house results on them; but found some in hunts and lelands auctions in the 2000-2002 time frame. The prices varied alot in those auctions, and I am not sure if the 7-9 years would change their value much. As to the plate, yes there is a football on it. I included a larger photo below. The plate reads: Cornell Champions 1915. Also in the photo are a couple of newer pickups: A 1933 Princeton Spalding Trophy ball with all of their undefeated season's scores painted on it, and a 1919 trophy ball (bottom right) from the post WWI Military Football Teams Tournament in Paris France. This 1919 ball is pretty neat, and its makers mark is actually that of the YMCA, who sponsored the tournament.

Military FB
KJ, That 33' Princeton ball looks very classy, great condition...the 1919 Military Paris trophy football is wild...It reminded me of a military football game poster I have between the Marines and Army for the 1918 Tournament of Roses...I think that's before they called it the Rosebowl. I got that maybe 16 or so years ago at the old now defunct Marin City Flea right near the Golden Gate Bridge....boy that was a wild market back in the pre-eBay days..It's about say 30" tall...obviously someone trimmed it. Most likely there was some kind of damage. I think I can mat is so it still looks nice framed, someday that is.

Awesome poster Carlton, you have some amazing display items. From the photo I can't really tell where it is trimmed.
