During the 1950s, noted illustrator
William Medcalf produced a series of
baseball related artworks for the
advertising firm of Brown & Bigelow.
The artwork was featured on a number of
branded promotional merchandise that
included calendars, Baseball schedules
playing cards, and ink blotters. Six of
Baseballs biggest stars were depicted
on these advertising novelties; Ty
Cobb, Honus Wagner, and Connie Mack,
appeared as they did in the early
1950's, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and John
McGraw as spiritual images.
The 3-7/8 by 9 inch ink blotters were printed by Brown & Bigelow with a
blank space for advertisers, to the
right of the William Medcalf
illustration. The advertisement on this
Babe Ruth “C'Mon Kid” ink blotter is
for T. B. Lee, Realtor, 501 County St.,
in Virginia.
