THE 2023 NATIONAL

By Carlton Hendricks

 

 

he 2023 National Sports Collectors Convention took place July 26th-30th at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont ILL. A good many regulars I recognize were there. Corey Leiby of AntiqueAthlete.com, Brett Lowman of PlayOkAntiques.com, Jon English of VintageSportsAntiques.com, Bob McCann, Daryl O'Mary, brothers Kevin and Chris Bronson, Paul Referson, Matt Hart, John Kanuit, Jeff White, John Liffman, Dave Perry, Bill Kopperund, Bill Rayburn, Pat Armstrong, Jeff Mann, Pat Nester, Randy Johnson, Mark Steinberg, Sal Dichiera, Mark Mcrea, Tom Boblitt, Bob Seedhouse, and Paul Montesano ...to name some...Sadly I missed seeing National regular Mike Brockman who passed away in 2020...This was my first National since 2019...

 

Keith Javic of AntiqueSportShop.com did not attend this year....which much affected the show as far as I was concerned as he always comes with a formidable arsenal... He's one the top dealers of the National for our kind of stuff. And the three Bills'n Dave room was in full swing at the Embassy Suites across from the convention center...which just adds shine to the show... Also there was Doug and Diane McElwain of Sport & Spool Antiques. Doug and Diane's booth is always thrilling....they really have the eye for a great stuff. When you put the booths of Corey Leiby, Keith Javic, Kevin Bronson, and Doug and Diane McElwain, plus all the others, in one building (plus the Three Bills room across the street)...you are seeing the very best concentration of sports antiques for sale anywhere in the world...So for those hesitant to make the financial commitment to come...factor that in...

All that said...I would say the show was a bit thin for antique relics...Nevertheless the Lord blessed me and I did great!!...I made some excellent finds!...proof above....my top pick-up from the show...Best basketball sign I've ever seen...I was probably about 20 yards away when I spotted it. Jon English had it hanging on the outside his booth. I made distance shot t5.jpg (227696 bytes)my way to it like a heat seeking missal... Jon was asking $3,500.00 but I didn't have that much ...Once I concluded there was no way I could afford it right then...I told Jon if he didn't sell it and ended up taking it home I would try to raise the money when I got home... The show lasted till Sunday...I left Thursday...Late Sunday afternoon I called him to see if he sold it....BLAM...no didn't sell it... Ok let me see what I can do I said....within a few days I raked it up and made the deal...It could use some restoration...it's got tears and holes...and even stains...but it looks good enough to display as is...I don't like antiques too perfect anyway because you're not sure if it's a reproduction. I asked Jon where he got it...Madison-Bouckville he said...the giant 2000 plus dealer outdoor show in Up-State New York near Syracuse I always wanted to go to...But the story goes on...a very interesting thing happened...which you can read about in the Carlton's Pickups page...

 

You may be wondering what took so long to get this years National story posted...I tried to implement some design changes but could never get the bugs worked out...I'm no techie web designer...I work a full time job and this site is just a hobby/one man show...So instead of monkeying around I'm gonna just get it out there the way I've always done it...

 

I would say this years story is lacking in wow photos...One dealer who's prowess I greatly respect, graciously asked me not to photograph and publish photos of his things. He was kind enough to explain his marketing rational...I pleaded but to no avail...So there went a chunk of wow-factor...as this particular dealer is one of the most prolific dealers in the country...the world for that matter...for sports display antiques. And as usual he had killer stuff! Then of course...as already mentioned Keith Javic took a powder this year...so more wow-factor cuts...Nevertheless let's get on with it...

FLYING MERKEL - MADE BY MIAMI CYCLE & MFG. 1911-15

 

I was about to leave for the National Sports Collectors Convention last Sunday and spotted this metal Time Check tag on eBay...I needed to save money for the show but it was just too cool to pass on so put in a bid and won it...It closed while I was in the air to Chicago so soon as we landed I saw I won it...

 


https://www.sportsantiques.com/flying_merkel_motorcycle 
Miami Cycle & Mfg. Co. 1895-1923 was in Middletown Ohio about halfway between Dayton and Cincinnati.....they made "Racycle" bicycles and motorcycles....and acquired the "Flying Merkle" company in 1911...subsequently pouring money into it ...including hiring a company race team that set records...It's a pretty big name in early American motorcycle history...So to get a factory artifact was kind of a must have...see the story linked above I did on a Flying Merkel trophy...


It's my first encounter with an industrial time check tag...couldn't find too much on the history of them...but obviously had to do with some employee time accounting procedure...I did find the speculation below...but someday hope to find some early book on industrial plant management that will clear it up...or maybe a magazine story from something like the Scientific American...


https://www.lacityhistory.org/blog/2020/1/7/banning-company 
EXCERPT QUOTE:
...One of my railroad friends believes the tag might have been used by a Banning Company employee. When a worker arrived at his place of employment, he would request his brass tag from the pay office and hang it on his peg inside a case in his work area. The case would be locked by the company foreman and so a worker had to arrive on time to get clocked in for the day. At the end of the worker’s shift, the case was unlocked and the worker took his tag to the pay office. He would be then paid for the day’s work...

Sunday 7/2/23 I scored this very cool drum at the July Alameda Point Antiques Fair...not sure of much of anything about it for now...The dealer I got it from, who I see around at shows, is Native American and a teacher…she said she got it from friends near a pow-wow at the Mashantucket Pequot Reservation in Ledyard Connecticut…which is about 75 miles from Springfield Massachusetts where the Indian company was…only thing I know for sure is the patina looks old...like 1930ish...The original Indian motorcycles were made from 1901 to 1953 by the Hendee Manufacturing Company… the name was changed to the “Indian Motocycle Company” in 1923….I can’t find any other examples…which happens…Possibly on one hand, if Hendee Manufacturing Company issued the drum as an advertising piece before the name change the inscription might have been abbreviated to something like “Hendee Mfg. Co.”…not Hendee Indian Co…but that’s not written in stone…it could have been made after the name change and they were underlining the company history…especially considering the “1901” in the center…The Hendee company was very big on using Native American imagery and even adopted that nomenclature into their corporate culture…for example…company president George Hendee was called the Big Chief…co-founder and head designer Oscar Hedstrom was called the Medicine Man. The factory was called the Wigwam and the dealer network was called the Tribe. During the 1910s, Indian became the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world…Another guess would be that an Indian Motorcycle dealership may have made it for their showroom…who knows…all I know for now is I’m confident it’s old and it looks killer in my collection….

I’m now looking for photos of anyplace Indian motorcycles were exhibited between 1901-1953…such as International Exhibitions like the Panama Pacific where Indian Motorcycles were featured…

FIRST CINEMATIC FEATURE

Have you ever seen interesting props in the background of a movie? For me it all started when

I got back from Massachusetts last May after attending the Brimfield Antiques Fair. I rented some movies about Boston just to see if I could spot any sites I'd seen there. I particularly wanted to seesites of Harvard so I rented Love Story with Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw. I saw a few shots of the campus here and there in the movie....but then when it got to the part where O'Neal's character goes to see his father for money to pay his wife's medical expenses...BLAM!!...I really got an eye full...There in his father's office sitting front and center was an incredible bronze rowing statue of a coxed pair. I don't believe I'd ever seen it before..It looked for certain to be French, and best I can make out, it's on a light jade or light brown marble base....which would be typical. We aren't given any full close in shots but you can see a distant full length and closer in partials, take a look below!
