THIS WEEKS FEATURE  48" Wide x 21" Tall    Porcelain on Steel c1920 YALE LAUNDRY ADVERTISING SIGN   ....I left an absentee bid and hit it pretty hard...Got it for $$750.00 plus $150.00 premium...plus a very reasonable $139.00 shipping...So $1039.00 delivered...could have been worse...I've developed a taste for porcelain sports signs....picked up three in the last year....   received this porcelain sign few weeks ago...When I first saw it, naturally I  thought it was from Yale...but as I researched it...gradually it became apparent, it very may not have. I learned there were Yale Laundries in New York City, Washington D.C., Denver, Portland Oregon...and maybe other cities...and They seem to have all been independent...that is, not all owned by a principle...Although it seems unusual so many laundries would use the name Yale.   The one clue I've exhausted without any conclusion is the catch phrase "Where Linen Lasts"...It seems that was a well used phrase employed by many laundries around the country during the first half of the 20th century...and I was not able to tie it to any Yale Laundry.   In the late 19th - early 20th century the Yale name was raided at will...I've seen many products named "Yale"...Now days I doubt anyone could get away with it...Harvard was also subject to the same...Beer, Cigars, etc....Over the years I've been tempted more than a few times to buy Yale and Harvard non sport items that had a lot of eye appeal...   Close-in shot of Yale Laundry Washington D.C., Next to Ford's Theater Reference to Yale Laundry N.Y.C. Reference to Yale Laundry Denver CO. Yale Laundry Sign displayed  in Carlton's Kitchen The Yale Crackers box below was the first non-sport Yale piece I bought. I picked it up within the last year.. as it was in such nice shape and cheap...like $100.00 I think it was...Then a couple months ago I got a flyer in the snail mail for Showtime Auctions for an advertising auction...I usually look thru them quickly for sports advertising but never see much...my Yale Laundry sign was very subdued...a small little photo among a lot of non sport pieces...From there I looked it up on line...It looked porcelain in the photo and sure enough it was...Porcelain sports related signs hardly exist...Of course my Yale Laundry isn't sports really...but related...My friend Tom Cardaropoli, eBay handle Walnutts, who is very knowledgeable on advertising signs said he'd seen Yale Laundry signs before but nothing close to mine for graphics...   Carlton buying first  porcelain sign 2009 It was one of those internet Live Auctions...I left an absentee bid and hit it pretty hard...Got it for $$750.00 plus $150.00 premium...plus a very reasonable $139.00 shipping...So $1039.00 delivered...could have been worse...I've developed a taste for porcelain sports signs....picked up three in the last year...plus that bowling and billiards one back in 2009         See more great stuff on our archived pages below    What's New Archive Page Latest Acquisitions Page Antique of the Week Archive
