Turkey Red Advertising

Along with the cards themselves, Turkey Red advertising
pieces are some of the most attractive and highly sought after
items in the baseball related tobacco collecting arena.  The
spectacular red and white on black items were beautifully
crafted.  A few examples are shown below.

16 1/8" W x 19 3/4" H.  I believe there were a few different
size variations of this same frame created.  I own another
similar, smaller frame measuring 12 7/8" W x 16" H.  Both
frames are skillfully engraved at the bottom with the "Turkey
Red Cigarettes" logo.

It should be noted that this specific advertising poster has
been reprinted through the years.  Please be careful to
research what you are purchasing.

In coordination with it's sister brand "Turkish Trophies",
this spectacular advertising piece was crafted.  The top
portion of the frame holds an example of Frank "Home
Run " Baker from the very rare L1 Leathers series along
with redemption coupons from this issue.  The bottom left
holds a Vic Willis T3, while the bottom right holds a
beautifully done portrayal of Napolean Lajoie from the
highly sought S81 Silks series.  What an amazing piece.

Handsomely sandwiched between ads for
Johnnie Walker and Bull Durham, this Turkey Red
promotion kept subway riders up to date on the
most popular vices of the day.

This newspaper ad measures approximately
11" x 3 1/2" and was found in the Saturday
October 8, 1910 issue of The World.

I found these ads a few years ago, but neglected to note the paper from
which they originated.  However, someone was kind enough to note the
date they appeared on the back of each one.  Each ad measures
approximately 10 1/2" x 4 1/2".

This nice centerfold appeared in a small paper
publication issued in the spring of 1911 entitled
"The Sunday American 1911 Base Ball Guide".  A
great guide in itself,  jam packed with stats and
information on the 1910 season.  When opened,
the display measures 9 1/2" x 7 1/2".  It's the
Blend!
