c1858 PARIS BALLOONING EXHIBITION

BROADSIDE POSTER

Now here's something that is amazing in two regards...One, I never thought I'd own a ballooning broadside, much less one in French. And two...It has such a remarkable presence I can't stop looking it over...Here's the story...

eBay listing photo - original size I had to go on

For those not familiar with this kind of poster...this would be referred to as a broadside...We'll forego lengthy prose on broadsides for now though and skip to the chase...I spotted this on eBay...It had a BIN of $95.00 plus $4.00 shipping. The photo was lame see directly above...Ever since my friend John Gennantonio told my virgin ears as much that poor photos on eBay indicate the seller is trying to hide something...I've taken closer looks and been more cautious...I came across it and looked it over...yeah right I thought, a French broadside...sure just what I need...and I put it in my watch list and moved on to other business.

A couple days later I saw it in my watch list and clicked on it again...I read it more carefully and contemplated it's large dimensions...Yeah right what are you doing Carlton...and I moved on again to other stuff...Probably a week went by and I clicked it on again...Apparently my head was clearer as I sized it up...First I translated the core message from French to English:

FRENCH
FETE DE BELLEVILLE DIMANCHE 20 JUIN 1858, DE MIDI A QUATRE HEURES DANS LA COUR DE LA MAIRIE, GRANDE SOLENNITE FETE AEROSTATIQUE EXTRAORDINAIRE DONNEE PAR M. ALFRED ROUSIOT...AU PROFIT DES PAUVRES DE 2 A 3 HEURES, GRAND CONCERT MILITAIRE, A 4 HEURES TRES-PRECISES, ASCENSION VOIR LES PROGRAMMES DE LA FETE. PRIX D'ENTREE: 50 CENTIMES.

ENGLISH
FESTIVAL OF BELLEVILLE DIMANCHE 20 JUIN 1858, from noon to four hours in the COURT OF THE CITY HALL, great solemnity Balloon FESTIVAL SPECIAL GIVEN BY ALFRED M. ROUSIOT to the poor ... 2 TO 3 HOURS CONCERT GRAND MILITARY, A 4 TIMES-VERY PRECISE ASCENSION PROGRAMS SEE THE FESTIVAL. ENTRANCE FEE: 50 cents.

Next I googled Alfred M. Rousiot the person referenced on the poster and learned he owned a ballooning periodical of some sort in 1864 called “La Science Aerostatique, journal des amis du progres de l’aerostation”, and appeared to esteemed.

All of sudden it was coming to me...it was a combination of it's largeness, 33 1/2" wide by 16 1/2" tall....and short and wide format...my favorite format for pictures and prints....Plus Alfred M. Rousiot appeared very interesting...and if he owned a magazine about ballooning, he was likely an important player in early ballooning. Once I realized all that it had me...

But then there was the question of the crummy photo and what was underneath...I concluded that it was a good possibility it may have been a reproduction of some sort...maybe an old reproduction, maybe new...or what ever...But taking it all in...If it was real for $100.00 it was a steal! And I figured I'd take a chance....If it wasn't right I'd return it.

The ambiguity I felt made waiting for it to arrive more intriguing than usual. And wouldn't you know...Via USPS it didn't come on time...According to the online tracking manifest it was suppose to get to me by the 11th of January....The 11th came and went and by the 19th I was writing the seller...even though the post office advised I wait till the end of the week before making an official inquiry...and of course it came the next day...

I got it in hand and put off opening it ...Good news can wait...bad news will find you out...I wasn't in the mood to deal with any disappointment so I finally got around to opening it that evening...I worked off the lid of the mailing tube and peered in....hmm...It appeared the seller had rolled it together with another piece of paper under it that offered it a little extra protection. then slid it in another rolled up piece of paper inside the tube...very professional!...a good sign...I knew I was possibly dealing with an 1858 antique so I went easy...Slowly and gently I began to unroll it to length...Eyes wide open I fixated on what I was seeing...carefully looking it over and trying to get a grip on it...Everything looked perfect!..and then I felt the weight of the paper...very light weight...absolutely correct weight paper...very impressive...very right....perfecto!!!

However I wanted to see it open and take it all in....but it was very fragile and the condition was unbelievable so I was reluctant mess with it until it was framed...But I couldn't wait....I had a large plastic sleeve bigger than the poster so I carefully worked it down in....tapped it around a little and got it so I could display it propped up against another large framed poster...I set it all on top my refrigerator so I could fully take it in...WOW....what a piece...what an incredible purchase. I've been around this stuff to understand when something is beyond rare...when the word rare can't convey it's self...The fragileness of the paper and it's age doesn't compute...It would have to be one of the oldest ballooning posters in the world. And I anticipate Alfred Rousiot will be interesting to research.

Picking up on something...I wondered what else the seller had...I was in such a good mood I emailed him in jest the following:

Michael,
A cage full of parcels fell off the back of the post office truck as it was going down the interstate and my broadside was run over by oncoming traffic....It then rolled off into a river and was retrieved by fisherman...who used it to wrap the days catch...until the postal authorities retrieved it and got it back on its way again...Apparently that’s why it was late to my post office...

Just kidding...I really like it...Do you have any more broadsides?

1908, 31 1/2" x 13"

PANORAMIC PHOTO OF J. BERGER'S RACING TEAM

First year of All Alaska Sweepstakes, Beverly Dobbs Photographer

It was an action weekend for hunting sports antiques the weekend of Jan.. 7-8th...I went to a paper show in Golden Gate Park in S.F. held at the Hall of Flowers...I didn't get there till about an hour and forty five before they closed. They hold that show twice a year I believe it is...Over the years I've gone to it and found practically nothing...then again I've gone to it and scored big...see this link for an epic c1914 All Vallejos vs Yosemites of San Francisco football broadside I picked up there in 2010....

Anyway..I missed the last show...and was determined to make it to this one. I wasn't in the mood to spend much money after the golf clock I just got so what ever I found had to be eBay flip-able or too good to pass up...bingo...

http://www.allalaskasweepstakes.org/History.html
I picked up something I'm wild over and had never ever in 25 years of collecting, given even a single thought of...Dog Sled Racing!!!!! I spotted this photo below within the first twenty minutes and it was love at first bite...I mean site. 31 1/2” x 13” 1908 photo from Nome Alaska of an early dog sled race team...titled: ”BERGER’S RACE TEAM – FIRST ANNUAL ALL ALASKA SWEEPSTAKE”, see link above to All Alaska Sweepstakes website. From a cursory review I believe this team won the Sweepstakes in 1909..whereas my photo is marked 1908...It will be fun to research this.....Yeah it has some damage....but find another...it'll frame up nice. Turns out the photographer Beverly Bennett Dobbs is quite a story by himself, see bio below.

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER

The son of a farmer, Beverly Bennett Dobbs was born in 1868 near Marshall, Missouri. At age 8, he moved with his parents to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he learned photography. In 1888, Dobbs moved to Bellingham, Washington, and operated a photography studio for 12 years, including a partnership in 1890-1891 with F.F. Fleming under the name Dobbs & Fleming. He married Dorothy Sturgeon of Bellingham in 1896, then moved to Nome, Alaska, in search of gold in 1900. Dobbs continued to earn his living as a photographer, and by 1903, he had formed a partnership with the photographer A.B. Kinne from San Francisco. The Dobbs & Kinne studio in Nome offered photography services and photo supplies. Dobbs photographed scenes in Nome and the Seward Peninsula and made portraits of Native Alaskans. He was awarded a gold medal at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (St. Louis World’s Fair) in 1904 for his Native Alaskan photographs.

By about 1909, Dobbs had started Dobbs Alaska Moving Picture Co., making him one of the first to use motion picture film north of the Arctic Circle. He made a name for himself as a filmmaker with Atop of the World in Motion (also called Top of the World in Motion), a collection of his motion picture travelogues detailing the Alaska gold rush. By 1911, it is probable that Dobbs was focusing only on his moving picture business; he no longer had his photography supply store, and had sold his photography negatives to the Lomen Brothers, who later issued some of his work under their name. By 1914, Dobbs had returned to Seattle and was managing the Dobbs Totem Film Company. He is listed as the cinematographer for A Romance of Seattle, a film shot in and around Seattle in 1919. In his later years he specialized in developing motion picture films in his studio at his home. During the 1930s, Dobbs photographed the fish processing operations at Pacific American Fisheries (PAF) in the Fairhaven area of Bellingham. He died at age 69 in 1937.

REGAL PALE BEER

ADVERTISING SIGN

PRINTED ON CARDSTOCK

As found at Antiques Fair

http://beercanhistory.com/regal.htm
So then the next day I hit the Sacramento Antiques Fair...I had finished two combs and was about to leave for church, but would have been early so decided to take one more quick run thru...and there it was....the dealer didn't have it out earlier...a late 1950's/early 60's advertising sign for Regal Pale. It wasn't cheap but I couldn't leave without it. Funny thing...we were talking and the dealer said he'd gotten it at Alameda last week...He said it was about 6:00AM and a guy was unloading a whole collection of Regal Pale stuff and people were surrounding the guy like sharks and buying up everything...said this was the only sports sign and he got it and he had to pay money for it....So essentially it hasn't been out for sale too long...that day or the week before at Alameda! I found out a lot about Regal Pale in a page linked above. It's really late for me to collect but I couldn't resist it's size and impact...As I mulled it over I concluded I don't recall ever seeing any advertising signs with boxing graphics this quality...

Using my art reference library I thought I'd I.D.'d the illustrator as John Whitcomb...But then I went on the internet and found a very interesting illustration blog by Leif Peng of Canada...Leif felt for sure it wasn't by Whitcomb and said he'd look into it. Below our email exchange and his very interesting perspective.

Hi Leif,
I read your comments about Jon Whitcomb. A week ago I bought a c1955-60, 31 3/4" x 20 1/2" card stock advertising sign for Regal Pale that features a boxing scene. I attach two photos...Do you think it’s by Jon Whitcomb?
Kindly, -Carlton

Hi Carlton;

Great find - definitely NOT Whitcomb. I don't know who did this offhand but we might be able to narrow it down....

Do you know if Regal was a regional brand or was it sold nation-wide?

Best, Leif

Hi again, Carlton;

SF was a major advertising art center back in those days and a lot of national brand advertising was done regionally for that market. They even did a lot of automotive art for Detroit all the way across the country, believe it or not. So its possible that a forgotten west coast illustrator did this. But the painting style suggests otherwise. This isn't the typical west coast style.

The style is more reminiscent of one propagated by Haddon Sundblom (Coca-Cola Santa Claus artist) among his many apprentices. Which means this may be either a Chicago illustrator (where Sunny's studio was located) or someone who apprenticed there before going to NYC, which was the center of the commercial art universe back then.

There's a hint of caricature in the style of the faces - just a hint, but enough to make this style quite distinctive. I don't recognize it, but I'll ask around. If I hear anything back, I'll let you know. Either way, its a great piece - congrats!

Best, Leif

P.S. The style also suggests a slightly earlier date - c. 1950-'55. Most commercial artists were moving into a flatter, more graphic painting technique after 1955.

NORTH BRITISH GOLF BALLS

ADVERTISING CLOCK

Hung in Ben Sayers Ltd Golf Shop

North Berwick Scotland 1934-1965

c1930 Chrome plated - 10 1/2" wide

This c1930 North British brand golf balls advertising clock is my finale’ pick up for 2011. After a week of negotiating I made the deal Christmas Eve and received it December 31st. The clock hung in the Ben Sayers Ltd. Golf Shop at 56 High Street in North Berwick Scotland. The shop was open between 1934 and 1965…although the Ben Sayers concern had operated since the late 19th century…The Ben Sayers Company continues to this day under different ownership and is believed to be the oldest golf company in the world. I can’t recall many if any sports related advertising clocks of this quality and vintage so I had to get it! It goes perfect with my golf stuff....plus it makes a cool ticking sound in my collection

Ben Sayers 1858-1924

Ben Sayers 1858-1924 was an early Scottish golf professional and contemporary of Old Tom Morris. He was one of the leading golf club makers of the late 19th- early 20th century, designed many golf courses in Scotland, and taught golf.

http://www.northberwick.org.uk/sayers.html
Sayers also gave lessons to Her Majesty Queen Alexandra over the nine hole course at Windsor Castle. He gave instruction to the Prince of Wales, Princess Victoria, Duchess of Connaught and Princess Patricia of Connaught. Princess Victoria was a very keen golfer, and Sayers partnered her in several foursome matches at Chatsworth, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. During this period Edward VII visited the seven-hole course at Chatsworth for a week in January. A.J. Balfour the prime minister was among the guests and invited professionals included Jack White, J.H. Taylor and Ben Sayers.

Courtesy Douglas Seaton

Ben Sayers died in 1924. His son Ben Sayers Junior, himself a pro, was in charge of golf club production from the 1920’s and would have managed the shop where this clock hung.

I feel I’ve brought a wee bit’o Scottish golf history into my living room and plan to do a story on it soon. It runs five days before needing rewound. Below is a shot of it installed in my collection

Clock mounted on wall in Carlton Hendricks collection.

Left some room underneath for a small plaque giving its history.

Above is a pair of D&M baseball cleats from the turn of the century...I got them based on I know early high top cleats hardly exist and the sellers claim they

were the best he'd handled in his career...I believe they're the first pair of early

high tops I've seen for sale...They must have been stored in a well sealed trunk

as I've never seen leather from the turn of the century so supple...it's like they're brand new!...though the soles appear to have very slight wear...and the tag is mint!...phew!

AND IT'S AMERICAN!!!!

LACES DOWN

BACK SIDE

GRIP LACES

The same dealer said the same thing about this melon ball...best he'd ever handled...and that got my attention...hated to spend the money but I know melon footballs...and I knew the rounded shape was very early....Sure enough when I held it I was blown away....it's the oldest football I've ever seen in person...the patina screams 1880 even though the leather is supple....Plus another big bonus was it was found at Girard College in Philadelphia...so I know it's American!!!....at least played with in America...that's a whole lengthy subject of it's own as far as imported footballs in the late 19th century...I wish I had the time to do a deep research story on it...Anyway...took me twenty five years to find a ball this good!...It's filled with some kind of polly fill to hold it's shape. I was considering having a bladder put in but may leave it as is...I was told if I took the laces apart there might be a makers mark inside...but I hate to disturb it.

The only other melon football I've seen this good was one I saw last May in the Yale trophy room...which you can read about here...that one would shut down north America!

1916 NEW YORK STATE

AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

BOXING TROPHY PLAQUE

Cast and Engraved Bronze on Oak

Made by Dieges and Clust

20 1/2" Tall x 15" Wide

A couple weeks ago I drove down to L.A. to pick up this 1916 NYC

amateur boxing plaque. The plaque was made by the renown Dieges

and Clust company….Instead of risking damage in shipment I figured

I’d pick up in person and hit the Rose Bowl flea same day….got to RB right at 6:00AM but never could get traction…pretty much the weakest

Rose Bowl I’d ever been to….The winning club of the plaque

“Union Settlement” was founded in 1895

Union Settlement was founded in 1895 by members of the Union Theological Seminary

Alumni Club. After visiting Toynbee Hall in London, and inspired by the example of Hull

House in Chicago, the alumni decided to create a settlement house in the area of

Manhattan enclosed on the north and south by East 96th and 110th Streets and on the east

and west by the East River and Central Park.

THIS STATUE OF A MOTORCYCLE RIDER

IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PURCHASES

OF THE YEAR!!

I first saw this in at an antiques show in Grass Valley Ca.

in May of 2011, the day before I was to leave for

the May 2011 Brimfield Antiques Fair. I passed on it to conserve

fire power...but in hindsight....it's nicer than anything I saw in Brimfield. Earlier this month I attended the Hillsborough

Antiques show in San Mateo CA and the dealer

Chuck Morganstein still had it.

I walked the whole show and at the end of the day I stopped in to chat with Chuck....as I sat there discussing statues and antiques

I kept looking at the motorcycle...I came the conclusion it was

the best thing I saw at the whole show...but I hated to spend

the money...but it got me thinking...I considered pulling the

trigger that evening....but just to frugal...

I went home and the next day it was on my mind and I made the decision to get it....I called Chuck's store Woodchuck Antiques on Sacramento Street in San Francisco, and asked for Chuck's cell number....

I called him at the show and said I'd take it...he said it's

yours...and he told me a lady had come by earlier that day

and said she would come back at the end of the show and

get it for her husband...

Chuck said he asked if she wanted him to hold it

but she said no....About a half hour later Chuck called me

and said the gal came back to get it but the sold sign was

already on it.

In 25 years I only recall seeing three motorcycle statues

for sale...this one which I bought, another which Chuck

Morganstein had which was a little smaller, and one I

saw years ago at the All American Collectors show

in Glendale Ca. It sold right away before the public

even came in and was a couple $thousand$ as I recall.

Carlton's Latest Pick Up

Here’s my first pickups for October…Went to the Alameda Point show yesterday…I got the 1880’s baseball cap below…I initially saw it at the National last summer…I made an offer but the seller wasn’t ready to sell since he got it there at the National…Fortunately the seller lives here in the bay area and sets up at the Monthly Alameda show…Last Alameda he shot me a price and I put down $300.00 to hold it and paid the balance yesterday…It's a very rare example of cap and kind of completes my collection of basic styles..I have the pillbox, boater, small bill Harvard cap, and now this striped one...which is the only one I've ever seen for sale...No makers tag but I got coaching from John Gennantonio and he gave it his stamp of approval as a style that was used for multiple sports as well as baseball...as seen by the 1886 Princeton baseball team photo under it

1886 Princeton Baseball Team

three styles of baseball caps

1881 Princeton Baseball Team

c1890 Baseball Cleats

The seller also had a pair of 1890ish two tone Spalding baseball cleats…I didn’t plan on it but I couldn’t leave without’um!...

Also got a 20” x 14” photo of a boy taking a photo

of boys topping a bat at home plate sand lot style. I'm confident it was used as advertising for the Brownie camera.

Plus got an interesting little 1924 team photo of the Tucson High School girls basketball team (Tucson AZ)….The names of the players are written by hand in ink on each player…along with the name of the coach…A few weeks ago I bought a girls basketball poster with a large illustration of a girl player for the 1929 Oakland Ca YWCA vs San Francisco YWCA…so this kind of goes along with it…

Carlton going for it!

I've done some cursory...haven't found any cards but there's a player on there named James J. Hogan who became perhaps the biggest name in football during his playing days at Yale from 1901-1905...so much so he became a kind of a national whipping boy/example for college inducements reform...the cry was he was getting such good treatment from Yale and others he was basically not an armature...among other perks he was getting a percentage of every pack of Mogul cigs sold in New Haven....and was responsible for getting them offered in Morey's, the exclusive students restaurant club in New Haven...

It's printed on card stock...and the seller said it came out of an attic where it was rolled, presumably since it's era....so I have to work on getting it flattened out...Pretty exciting piece, never seen it before!

c1880 VIENNA BRONZE

OF BILLIARD PLAYERS

This little 3 1/4" tall statue of billiard players is only example I've ever seen. Once I got it in hand I was taken back...I'm amazed by it...it's definitely my favorite recent acquisition. I like the way his top hat is slightly tilted back out of his eyes. Fits in perfect with the two Vienna's to it's right, the three soccer players and the two boxers.

Below is a 27 inch by 21 inch Yale vs Harvard track meet poster I'm very glad to have. Large Ivy League broadsides like this are so rare and hard to find. This one came from the same seller on eBay as the Mogul Cigarettes poster above. It to is also on card stock and will need to be flattened out before I can frame it

c1885 Madison Square Skate Pamphlet

11 1/2" wide x 9" tall unopened - 9" by 23" opened

Advertising brochure for the Madison Square roller skate manufactured by Merwin, Hulbert & Co of NYC. Dated to 1886-87 based on the skate's patent date of 1883 and the testimonials from satisfied customers all dated 1885. Familiar to firearms collectors, Merwin Hulbert is mainly for producing guns. Apparently they saw an opportunity to cash in on the 1880's craze for roller skating. Best illustration of a skate I've ever seen!
