Vintage Women’s Basketball Game Poster

Certificate No: 43506

Cursory research divulges that this broadside appeared in 1935, '40 or '46. The subject at hand was a women's basketball contest pitting the New Britain Pros against the New Britain All Stars (likely an amateur team) - the latter drawn from the so-called "Factory League" in Connecticut. With four unidentified contestant portraits pictured in the corners, this cardboard poster measures 14" x 22" and it's in about VG/EX condition - moderate corner wear, but the surface is acceptably clean (no blemishes), and there are no creases.

1940s-50s “Long Shot” Coin-Op Basketball Arcade Game

Certificate No: 46793

We've come a long way baby. Before X-Box, Nintendo and Playstation became part of our culture, sports games were rather primitive and now...oh, so desirable.  

This coin-op antique, dating to the mid-40's, was manufactured by J. F. Frantz, meaures 13-1/2" x 17-1/2" x 7-1/2" and is still in fine working order (complete with steel ball bearing). The reverse-glass graphics are original - and as to be expected, in somewhat reduced condition, but fully present. Wooden casing is also original and the penny slide fully functional. This is a rarely encountered specimen (20 lbs) and great vintage display.

"BRYANT" is affixed above the verso numerals. The tail tagging matches that of the game worn jerseys and includes four

1993 Dominique Wilkins Comeback Player Award w/Letter

Certificate No: 21574

Among other things, Dominique Wilkins was known for his remarkable durability. Midway through the 1991-92 campaign, however, the Hawks star ruptured an Achilles tendon, an injury that threatened to cut short his career. Wilkins returned with a vengeance the next season - his 29.9-point average ranked second in the league - and he received this Victor Award as the NBA Comeback Player of the Year. The figure sits somewhat loosely atop its gold-ringed marble base, which has a two minor nicks that do not detract from the overall condition of the vintage keepsake.

Offered is a red Wind Master standard fluid disposable lighter. It shows the event details on the front and an NBA logo on the reverse. At the very least, the lighter was at the concession stand for sale. At best, it was given to the players for their contribution to the game. The condition is EX/MT+ (mild interior rust). It is uncertain if the mechanics are workable.
