Love of the Game - Summer, 2018 Premier Auction

62. Lima, Ohio Colored All-Stars Broadside Advertising Poster MINIMUM BID: $200.00

61. 1934 Dizzy Dean Grape Nuts Advertising Display w/Promotional Pamphlet Attractive and colorful 1934 die-cut cardboard advertising display for Grape Nuts cereal featuring an art deco illustration of popular pitcher Dizzy Dean. Colorful display featured a cardboard holder designed to display propotional brochures describing a redemption offer whereby kids could obtain various prizes. This particular piece was one of several Grape Nuts displays to feature Dizzy Dean, but this style was only recently discovered, through a Midwestern find of approximately 25 examples. The piece measures approximately 22” (at its widest) x 26”, with the cardboard holder containing one Dean brochure which features a photographic image of dean that is strikingly similar to the illustration on the sign itself. The piece does exhibit areas of mild toning and age-related wear, with some light creasing at the left edge near Dean’s extended leg (the creasing does not interfere with the attractiveness of the display). The entire piece has been dry- mounted to a cardboard backing with a cellophane wrap, which we have elected to leave intact despite the fact that it prevents us from examining the reverse for the presence of the easel back or for any damage or staining. Due to the die-cut edges of the piece, the cellophane wrap protects the edges from damage and surface wear, a job it has done effectively. The cardboard backing does exhibit some wear and staining, along with spots of what appear to be mildew underneath the cellophane wrap, which does not come into contact with the piece itself. An overall VG/EX to EX appearance, a tremendous advertising piece and extremely attractive display. MINIMUM BID: $300.00
