Description: Unique 1912 S110 Turkish Trophies silk pillow case display piece. Incredible period compilation of six complete silk pillow case premiums all of which are assembled as a singular display piece. Overall size is 44"x67" with subjects as follows: #1: Baseball silk with Johnson, Cobb, Mathewson, Baker, and Speaker; #2: U.S. Generals with Lee, Cody, and Washington; #3: Indians; #4: Flags; #5: Kings and Queens; and #6: very rare Bathing Beauties. The overall condition is notably strong given its age, size, and original fragility; the baseball silk, however, does have an area of toning at the lower right corner and the Kings and Queens silk has a similar area of toning. Both areas of toning are very likely removable with conservation. Remainder of the display remains intact and fairly clean overall with bright original color and has been stitched together from the reverse by a single line of thread. Very attractive period tobacco related display which was recently discovered in an estate collection: EX-MT (With note to staining)
