Five of baseballs brightest stars of the late 1920s lent their names to promote their favorite tobacco brand. These 11 by 20 inch signs served as miniature billboards on the interiors of trolley cars and buses. The full set of five Lucky Strike advertising pieces are being offered in this auction individually including; "Tony Lazzeri - New York Yankees Star Infielder" Lloyd Waner - Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Sensation 1927 Paul Waner - Voted N.L. Most Valuable Player 1927 Bob Lefty Grove - Philadelphia Athletics Star Pitcher and Harry Heilmann - Detroit Tigers Worlds Leading Batter.
The offered Lucky Strike sign featuring Lefty Grove is a condition marvel. Perhaps the most desirable example of the five piece series this sign is all original with no restoration. It retains vibrant original color with no surface or structural faults and even little trace of corner or edge wear. A phenomenal pre-war baseball advertising gem in remarkable EX/MT-NM condition.
