Description: Rare Reach baseball equipment store display sign c.1910-15. Striking painted tin sign issued by the A.J. Reach Company to advertise its line of baseball equipment. Beautiful color graphics adorn the front of the sign picturing a batter graphic at the left edge (wearing a Pitt. Pirates uniform in the manner of Honus Wagner) along with three Reach "Blue Ribbon Burley" baseball bats in the center. The front features raised lettering, bats, and player graphics creating an excellent visual. The reverse contains printed instructions for retailers requesting that the signs be displayed prominently in their stores. 6"x13" marked by the Meek Co., OH. Colors remain very strong with some general surface wear and light rusting throughout. The offered sign, along with the other four Reach signs in this auction, was recently discovered in the wallboards of an attic in Nova Scotia and is being offered for the first time publicly. Incredible rarity with graphics of the highest quality for the period: VG
