1890's Mayos Tobacco Advertising Clock
One of the best baseball card related advertising pieces we have seen. Outstanding advertising clock is by Baird who exclusively made these jessum on wood clocks that advertised a slew of products from Coca Cola to the Brooklyn Dodgers (which we sold about five years ago for nearly $20,000). The clock is made of two concentric circles. The large circle at top features stunning logo, "Mayo TobaccoaSmokeaChew." Letters are raised and all hand-painted in gilt against a deep red background. Bottom circle has glass circle die-cut in the center to allow you to see the swinging pendulum. Face of the clock is marked "Baird Clock Company Plattsburgh NY." The clock is run-ning but does not keep perfect time. Excellent condition and 30" tall. One of the coolest display pieces you may see for a while.
