c. 1912 Peach Gloves advertising poster on Page 3
Corey, Could you please elaborate on that c. 1912 Peach Gloves advertising poster you posted on page 3. What are the details of that, dimensions, printer, came out of, etc. I looked into it a little Apparently there was a trimmed example REA sold, link here.
 And in another example is referenced reference on Antiques and the Arts "a circa 1910 Peach Baseball Gloves advertising display sold for $35,187" I'm guessing that was your example. Of course that's a whole different level of memorabilia not for the timid. Can you post some closer in photos of it? Acorrding to the REA listing "The display features full-length illustrations of nearly every top star of the game including Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, Frank Baker, Nap Lajoie, Chief Bender, Ed Walsh, and Roger Bresnahan, as well as managers John McGraw and Connie Mack, who are pictured seated in the dugout." I'm not a glove guy, but that's the first I've heard of J.A. Peach Gloves. And to think they lasooed all those big names to endorse it, that's amazing. Did somebody just change the name from A.J. Reach to J.A. Peach or something? LOL

The poster is approximately 20" x 30", fairly substantial for an advertising poster. It is not the one you describe that REA (when they were part of Mastro Auctions) sold in 2001. That one, while looking beautiful, had substantial restoration. I know the consignor and had seen it in its original state. As I best recall, there was substantial inpainting done. A portion of the poster was also missing, which was rebuilt and inpainted.
The one I own I acquired in a private transaction several years ago. It was a fresh find and had not been previously known to exist. The condition was amazing for an advertising poster. The colors are very bright and show no signs of fading. Except for cleaning and the repair of one or two pinholes in the margins where the poster was orginally mounted, nothing else was done. No inpainting was performed; all the colors are original. Including mine, I am aware of three copies. Besides being colorful and displaying important players of the era, the poster is the only chromolithgraphic advertising piece from that era of which I am aware (other than the T202 Hassan triple folders piece whose two side panels depicts Cobb and Mathewson). In contrast, the previous golden era of card issues (the late 1880's) had several outstanding chromolithographic advertising pieces. I do not have closeups to share. Sorry.

Here's a nice little piece from 1958
 And if you would indulge me in showing one of the pieces in the other half of the house's "advertising" collection (seeing that some folks posted some non-baseball cigarette stuff, why not): c. 1895  you can see more stuff like it at: www.rhodeislandbreweryhistory.com

c1912 J.A. Peach Sign
Corey, Thanks for expounding. Was J.A. Peach a major glove maker? Do you have any of their gloves you could post photos of? Was it just a coincidence the names A.J. Reach and J.A. Peach are so similiar? Do you know any history of the J.A. Peach company? Who formed it etc.?

Corey:
That Peach Gloves Ad Poster is sick (in a good way, of course!) Interesting that they put out such an elaborate ad, and their gloves are nowhere to be found today. I look for vintage gloves/mitts all the time, and NEVER see that brand. Does anyone have a Peach example, in which they can post a photo? Corey, if you can locate one, it would be very cool to display both the poster and glove together...
