FATIMA
CIGARETTES TRI-FOLD ADVERTISING DISPLAY
I've
already written about this Fatima sign in my
main
page of this 2018 National
so I copy and paste the excerpt below
EXCERPT
FROM 2018 NATIONAL MAIN PAGE
The Three Bills were staying in the same hotel I was...I actually stayed there just to be close to them...So when I first got in I went over to their room and there was memorabilia all over
the place...considerably higher quality than they normally bring as they are starting to thin the herd...and leaning against the fireplace was a large c1910 tri-fold advertising display for Fatima Cigarettes featuring an illustration of a college rush. It was mounted on a 64" wide X 42" tall wood backing. Rushes were a college tradition from about the mid 19th century to the early 20th century. Essentially they were brawls...good natured ones presumably...typically between sophomores and freshmen. The subject would have to be one of the most rare and unusual ever used on an advertising sign...and it was so me...that thing had carlton written all over it!!!...
Originally these tri-fold signs were displayed standing up with the two side panels folded out. Typically over time the two side panels start to separate from the center panel...but are an easy fix to reinforce from the back. This one though, had separated and been mounted flat
onto a wood backing. Bill Kopperud of The Three Bill's fame was selling it...He had it displayed in his real estate office for years, but replaced it with some Winchester Panels about the same size. So down it came...and to the National it went!...I took a good long look at it then went on looking at all the other stuff they brought...It was a mini National...tons of great stuff...But my mind kept going back to the Fatima sign...So I asked Kopperud...what are you getting on the Fatima?...$2500.00 he said...Now mind you when you're in this kind of target rich theater it's a little hard to think straight as your mind is racing...So after some contemplation I thought about selling the Spalding to pay for it and not use my National money...then it occurred to me maybe Bill would be interested in a trade...I told him about the Spalding...and that it was back in my room...and he was interested...latter we went to my room to take a look at it...Both of us were interested in possibly trading so we agreed to sleep on it over night...The next day we sat down at one of the food court tables at the National and sealed the deal...he would get the Spalding and I would get that incredibly rare sign!!!!...I had never seen the complete sign but a friend John Buonaguidi (Bone-a-gwidi) had a trimmed partial center panel he sold twelve years prior at the 2006 National in Anaheim...I had been keeping an eye out for the complete sign ever since!

STAPLETON
BUFFALOES VS. BROOKLYN DODGERS
Early
NFL broadside game poster on card stock
SCORE:
STAPLETON 0 BROOKLYN 21
Opening
game of season
This
was a really nice little find!...I believe the Stapleton Buffaloes
were from the Staten Island neighborhood of Stapleton. And the
referenced Freeport Stadium was 38 miles away in the town of
Freeport Long Island...How this thing managed to survive from 1936
to 2018 is amazing!...I've mentioned many times how rare these
early cardstock broadside posters are. Mainly because they turn brittle from
age and get broken up and tossed. So when I spotted it I was
all over it...even though I kept a poker face! Mostly I've
collected college ones...but to find an early NFL one like this is
extra rare...they hardly exist. It may look in poor
condition but for this kind of poster it's actually not bad at
all. The graphics are very good. I like the little illustrated
buffalo and it's got the all important day, month and date
which is priceless for researching it...Some collectors would
favor restoring this but I lean toward leaving it as is. If you
restore it some might think it's a reproduction. The way it is
anyone who sees it knows 150% it's original! An extra
bonus was I was able to find the score of the game on ProFootballArchives.com,
see below. Stapleton got creamed 0-21...and I learned their coach
was named Jack McDonald...who I believe may have been the same Jack
McDonald (March 6, 1908 – October 25, 1989) who went onto respectable tenure as a coach and athletic administrator
at Hofstra
University in Hempstead, New York on Long Island. If same Jack
McDonald he'd have been about 28 years old when that 0-21
beating took place!...wish I had more time to research!

GREAT FIND OF

"Second Patches" tire repair tin, c1930, 4" tall,
, from France
2.
"The Champ" pomade tin, c1930, 3 1/2" wide,
American
picked
up these two boxing themed advertising tins from the booth of
prolific boxing dealer Gary Schultz. Gary complimented me
that I had bought them. He said they were the two best tins he
had in the display case I spotted them in...and that they came
out of his personal collection. Oh I spotted them alright...I
know sports tins and zeroed right in. I had never seen either of
them...It was a very rare and good find. He gave them both to me
for $200.00...Now that's the kind of thing you go to the
National for...to find great rare stuff...and in this case a
real bargain. I'd have paid what ever to add them to my
collection!...
