Let's see some display room pics

Thanks Mike H. The Beer collection started, scarey to say, when I was 15....almost thirty years ago. Like that great Cal Ripken autographed photo also posted, it's been a father and son adventure for all of those years and that room is full of treasured memories. Most, if not all, of what you are looking at is from 1895-1939 or so. If you look close, on the back wall there's a late 1940s or early 50s Red Sox Licence plate that was put out by the Narragansett Brewing Company. We were also very fortunate to pick up from a friend a great 1916 celluloid schedule for the Sox, Braves and Providence Greys put out by Narragansett and a few other things put out by the brewery in the 50s when Curt Gowdey was doing the announcing for the Sox.

Speaking of Gansett.......where on earth did an Orioles collector from Atlanta find a Gansett sign??? Way cool (and impeccable taste mind you <G>). That sign dates from the mid fifties. You need to get yourself a National Bohemian sign from Baltimore!!! Very nice room!! Spent a weekend last year at Camden Yards, can't wait to go back.

Love seeing of these pics. I hope others continue to post. It's one thing to collect and appreciate nice items, when you see a collection put together, it gives it more of a human element......much more important than just a page on ebay!!

I'm a native of Rhody and carry a torch for the nostalgia of my youth. That sign is actually a cityscape that I had commisioned and the billboard was hand drawn. Its the side of a tenement building ...there's a man in the window and the lights of the billboard actually light up. Reminds me of the old downtrodden Gemini Hotel that I used to pass every day when I went to Classical.
Soft spot for Gansett and the Reds...I actually have a turn back the clock Reds jersey on Ebay as we speak...Jim
