NOTES: |
| This
is a vintage 1914 Felt Blanket, also known as B-18
Blankets The set features
10 teams, and a total of 90 players. These Vintage Baseball Felts pictures an infield surrounded by base paths with a centered
baseball player, and two pennants. Each corner of the felt features an Icon Baseball, catchers mask,
baseball Glove, and crossed baseball bats. The back of the Felt has a
reverse image of the front as seen in the example of the
Agnew felt below. They were issued by
several tobacco companies of the day including
Egyptienne, and Straights Cigarettes (American Tobacco
Company) The felts were folded into fourths and fastened
to a tobacco product. People would take the felts and
sew them together to make a large blanket out of them.
The
value of these vintage Baseball collectibles vary
depending upon: the particular baseball player; The
particular color combination; sharpness, fading or
bleeding of colors, and overall centering of design. Sometimes these square felts will show
up with folds, tape or
glue marks from being attached to the tobacco product or
with stitching holes along the boarder being
disassembled from a blanket that someone had made. Flaws also
include frying, trimming, or bleeding of colors. There exists a limited
number of Brooklyn, and Detroit felts that contain a red
infield that dramatically inflates the value due to
scarcity. Bellow is a team by team price
guide for 1914 B-18 felts in Good, and excellent -
mint condition.
