1920s “Lucky Strike” Display Featuring Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher Lee Meadows.
Lot 150. 1920s “Lucky Strike” Display Featuring Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher Lee Meadows. Henry Lee “Specs” Meadows pitched for the Pirates from 1923-1929. He was one of only a few players who wore glasses on the field in the early 20th century. Meadows led the National League in wins in 1926. The die-cut cardboard figure of Meadows offered here was part of an enormous “Lucky Strike Cigarettes” advertising display piece that also featured tennis star Howard O. Kinsey, Olympic champion swimmer Helen Wainwright and Olympic champion diver Stubby Kruger. The 13” X 28” cardboard figure of Meadows has been mounted onto a 22” x 28” piece of black hardboard that is suitable for framing. There is a moderate amount of chipping and creasing that does not inhibit the visually stunning presentation of this piece.
Winning Bid $121.
