Specialized Catalog Cuban Cards Answer

[Roland 49]

Richard, I have the relationship that you sent me with the names, of the 12 covers, now I ask you, are you only interested in the covers with the photos of the players, the pictures, are you not interested?

[Roland 49]

In response, the "Punch" factory was founded in 1840, by Don Manuel López, owner of J. Valle y Cia, the British market at that time had it among their priorities, at that time the humorous magazine "Punch" was fashionable. whose main character was "Mr. Punch" with tobacco in hand and they decided to put that image in the views of the packages, British smokers liked these cigars because the layers tend to be very careful reddish brown. You will see an image of a view from 1850 among two others from later times. I'll be back with the 2nd part.

Jason, I will tell you that a grandson of Tito Oms I have known him for years and every so often he comes to my house, the last time was about 6 months ago, he has told me that the Oms have family ties with the Champion Mesa family, Now I send you a photo that the 3 Oms brothers are, the photo is not in good condition, but I think you can realize who the three are, if you have questions ask me, greetings.

I know it is a photo rather than a card, but do you happen to know the name of the player sitting next to Castro here? Thank you!

Continuous, Manuel López was right to set his eyes on the English market, in 1559, a theatrical work called Cuban Ebullition was performed in London, the artists released the smoke with pressure and intermittently, in 1598 the German traveler P. Hentzener in his book "Memories of travel" writes that the English wherever they are smoke La Hierva Nicoteana, in 1620 Bernabe Rich, calculates the volume of sale in London that is half a million pounds that comes in each year. In the early years of the 20th century, several companies, including "American Tobacco" and several others, entered Cuba and bought 291 brands of tobacco and 85 cigarettes. In 1910, "Los Independientes" emerged, who were the ones who did not sell their factories. they were "Punch". Now you will see several images of this brand in boxes and rings.

[Roland 49]

When Sir Winston Churchill visited Havana, he visited the "Punch" factory on Monte y Zulueta streets, and had them prepare some cigars with chosen size, thickness, color and layers, and he named them "Churchill" vitolas. To be part of the brand's vitolario, as far as I know in the late 1990s, this vitola was still sold for export. The ring that you will see is from King GeorgeV, which was made by the factory in 1910, for his coronation, it is made with thin sheets of Gold, in lithographic stone, it coincides in the year of the Cigar cards with the players and you will see a view of tobacco printed in silver for the 25 years of his reign, made especially for the Shop East Orange in NJ with this I conclude the questions they asked me.

[Roland 49]

Now I show you a very rare card from Kevin Connors, The Rifleman, from the O. Diaz collection, years ago in Cuba on Mondays on television there is a program called "Senderos del Oeste" and they always present a film of this genre, but first They show a short of the different episodes of the 50s, a few months ago they put one of The Rifleman, I remember them in the 50s that every day I saw several: Rin Tin Tin, The Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Red Ryder, etc.

[Roland 49]

Jason, since you tell me that Alejandro Oms is a player of your choice, I send you some photos from different years, some before the 20s, all of them with the complete team but I edited them. Greetings.

[Roland 49]

Now I show you a very rare L. Pearson card from the O. Diaz collection.

[Roland 49]

Butch, days ago I sent you the Baby Baseball from Almendares, you have not answered me, now you have an image from 1949 of a Three Kings Day, you see a girl waking up with toys, you will see 2 baby, one from Almendares and the from Havana by bicycle, when you see it, tell me, I have other things.

[Roland 49]

Now I show you the marble plaque of the Hall of Fame of Cuba, after being restored and placed in one of the halls of the Cerro Stadium, today the Latin American Stadium, in December 2020, this plaque is the original that was placed shortly after After the Grand Stadium of Havana was inaugurated in 1946, I was present the day it was placed and the day it was unveiled on December 29, 2020.

Nos disculpamos de antemano, Roland - le respondimos en el otro hilo de discusión
(estamos demasiado fácilmente confundidos!).

Nuestro comentario fue el siguiente:
-----------------------------------------

¡Hola, Roland! Este juego de Martin -- eso es maravilloso de ver - era completamente desconocido para nosotros!
¿Tienes más imágenes, o imágenes más grandes, de ese juego o sus otros componentes (su caja, cualquier parte del juego,
instrucciones)? Nos gustaría ver todas las partes de todo el juego. ¿Conoces al fabricante o al año en que se produjo?

Todo lo que has mostrado (juegos, cartas, revistas, juguetes y más) es interesante. ¡Qué increíble colección
y biblioteca de artefactos tienes! Pero siempre, siempre, somos los más interesados en ver los juegos de mesa
y saber qué información (fabricante, año de producción) tienes sobre ellos.

¡Gracias como siempre por tus buenos deseos! ¡ja! ¡Nos estamos desmoronando!
Saludos...

[Roland 49]

Butch, it does not matter that you post in any thread, I see both, and I almost always put the images in both for those who connect to one of them, I will look for more information about the Martin's game but I have to look for the box, that image is Edited in part from one of my catalogs, now I am sending you a photo of a 100 x 100 Almendarista bicycle bell, when I was a child I had a Niagara brand bicycle, I don't know if that brand currently exists, and that was the bell I used, because I was always an Almendarista, I have more of you, let me know when you see this one.

[Roland 49]

Yesterday I showed the plaque of the Hall of Fame of Cuba, now I show you the plaque also restored of the players who fought in the War of Independence of 1895, this plaque was initially placed in the halls of the Hall of Fame on February 24, 1948, today like the previous one was developed after its restoration on December 29, 2020, in February 2021 two new plaques were placed, one of them with the names of other combatants that did not appear in the 1948 one and another with women who played baseball some in the 19th century and in the early 20th century.

Several candy factories are known that gave away cards for example players: Mallorquina, El Indio, Felices etc. Now I am showing you something very strange, the wrapping paper for the candies, in this case with the Almendares scorpion, when you bought the candies for 1 cent they would give you a card in a closed paper, when you took out the candy you would always throw away the wrap That's why it is super rare to see a piece of candy, do you agree with me?

[Roland 49]

Now I show an entry ticket to the 3rd math game for the 1904 championship in Santiago de Cuba, in their fields of "Campo Rojo"

[Roland 49]

I show you a collection of cards from the "Pioneer Weekly" from 1970, you will see the sheet of cards without cutting, and a card, you will see that there is a striped line between the photo and the name, the sheet was glued to a cardboard and folded By the line, then the card after pasting it was seen from the front and the back like any other collection card, few copies of that series were made, it is not easy to get it, the complete series is 24 cards.

[Roland 49]

Yesterday I showed you the "Pioneer" collection from December 1970, today you will see the one from November 1971, these 40 cards but with the faces drawn, this collection is more common than the previous one. I have sometimes seen it on ebay, now I tell you An anecdote, about 8 or 9 years ago, the starting players of the National Series were invited to the Stadium to see a game of the Industriales team and a tribute to them, at the beginning of the game I go to the stands behind home play and I sit next to Pedro Chavez, we talked for about 10 minutes and I carried an envelope with 2 albums from this series, at that moment I showed it to Chavez so that he could sign his postcard, but he was amazed for a while looking, and He tells me: Rolando has passed many years and the first time I see him, it is something amazing, around us were the other veteran players, Marquetti, Vinent, Arias, Capiro, Puente, Rachath, Isasi, and the 2 albums went through the everyone's hands and they signed it, none of them I had seen them, I talked and shared with all of them, when I was going to retire shortly after, Chavez calls me and thanks me for teaching him something they did not know and for keeping those cards for so many years. I'll show you some of those signed cards. ,

[Roland 49]

Today I ask you, a while ago I was looking for some photos and I found an envelope with some postcards of Cubans in the Major Leagues, I had not seen them for many years and I remember that in the 90s I bought a lot of around 70 postcards of that time and separate in the envelope those of the Cubans, I ask you, what series do they belong to, year, price, etc.?

[Roland 49]

Now you will see another series of rather rare cards, I have 21 from Cubans and 2 from players from Mexico, I put the collection "Radio Rebelde" because it is the only information that appears on the back, I consider that they were printed in 1972, but I'm not sure, photos go.

¡Hola Roland! ¡Gracias por sus últimas presentaciones!

Mencionaste la bicicleta "Niagara", y esto nos intrigaba. Pensamos que tal vez eran
una compañía local de antes de nuestro tiempo y de la que nunca habíamos oído.
Algunas discusiones aquí :
https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/niagara-schwinn.6376/
determina que eran una empresa cubana.

Por favor, mostrar más del juego de Martin, si se puede, cuando se puede!

Saludos!

[Roland 49]

Butch, interesting about the "Niagara" bicycles for sure I have photos and advertisements, but I have to look for them, that brand of bicycles in Cuba was like saying a Cadillad in cars, I rode it for many years and it never broke and I did not wear one. tire, now I am sending you from the Martin's game the name of the creator, something you asked me about from "Panchon Herrera" is going with you, when you see it, let me know, there are more things
