SPALDING
FOOTBALL GOODS ADVERTISING
SIGN 23
1/2 inch wide by 18 1/2 inch tall framed printed
on card stock Narration
by Carlton Hendricks
This Spalding football goods sign is
from my collection and is my favorite sign. Actually it's one of my
favorite pieces in the whole collection. I think it was also the
first sign I ever bought, back around 1988. I used to really work the
phone to shake stuff out back then. This was was before the internet.
I'd see an ad in the Antique Trader and cold call the person to see if
 they
had any sports items. There was a guy named Paul Longo that used to
advertise in there. I remember calling him and he told me about this
sign. I don't know if I just wasn't listening carefully or what, but
the way he described it, it didn't sound very spectacular. He asked if
I'd like him to mail a photo (everything was snail mail then), and
said it was great. I said sure, but I wasn't expecting much. I
remember when I opened the envelope and saw the photo. My hands
started sweating, and I got to a phone as fast I could and called him
to see if he still had it! I paid $300.00 for it. |
Detailed
commentary on this fascinating subject of
sports advertising signs is forthcoming, please
check
back. Thank you for your patience - Carlton
