Issued to commemorate the 1939 baseball centennial, we offer a scarce Coca-Cola poster. At 21" x 27", and featuring a large full-color reproduction of the famous Currier & Ives American National Game of Base Ball lithograph, from the 1865 "Grand Match for the Championship", at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, NJ, cameo images of the first twenty-six Baseball Hall of Fame inductees grace each side including Ruth, Cobb, Mathewson, Wagner, Johnson, Young, Lajoie, and Speaker. The poster is double-sided, with stats on the reverse along with a few team photos including the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings. While condition is not ideal, with numerous creases, discolouration, edge tears and paper loss along the bottom, these imperfections can be forgiven given the desirability and scarcity. An example of this rare advertising poster sold at major auction over a decade ago for just north of $3,200.00
