Default 1930’s Babe Ruth Tri- Fold Display Piece

I am trying to stay sane during these trying times, so I started going through some of my odd-ball things and came across this piece I bought some years ago. It is an original piece from the 1930’s Babe Ruth tri-fold advertising display. I know the complete display is very valuable. I think this is kind of cool because it has a picture of blind folded Babe Ruth.

Does anyone have any ideas of how I could display this piece or if there is any value in it? I would really like to display it some how but just not sure what to do with it.

That is pretty cool. Hard to put a value on it as there aren't any comps. If I hac to guess I would say value is 100-200 dollars but I could be off. Who knows, it's neat and could go for more?

If it were mine I would probably just sit it on one of my cabinet shelves for display. I doubt I would do much to it.

Thanks for posting. Very cool. Agree with Leon on value but who knows if you were to auction it off. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Leon and Bigfish.

Yes, I think it is cool too. Just a unique piece which I love.

If you know of any good restoration company that could restore it to this let me know. ��

Blindfolded and smoking a cigarette. Doesn't that usually mean an executioner's bullet is coming next?

Maybe you could post a few more pictures of the complete brochure laying flat and of both sides. I have a full page full color newspaper ad for the Babe and the Old Gold Cigarette blindfold test. Along with a number of smaller 1-color newspaper ads also. They are really cool items, there is also one ad with Ruth and Gehrig both blindfolded !! Thanks for posting the item, I am sure its very rare!!!
