Scarce pitch card – examples only show in two institutional libraries. Found in the estate of a 1930s circus promoter, there is no record for’Deacon James Finch’ nor do the details suggest that this is anything more than a stage name. Rather than the traditional pose w/a bible or in front of a congregation, Finch is noted only for height & weight in the negative. He is seated in a showman’s way, a precedent set by Barnum so many years before. Religion as the promoter’s gimmick to make Finch more palatable to a white audience is notable. Important Americana for that reason. Strong development & contrast on postcard photo stock w/ no back marks. Corner wear w/ink stain reverse that does not carry through.

Antique WILDCAT light up eyes Bag toss game Tin 1930s STUART MFG CO Cin O”’VERY RARE’. I can not find this game on any of my google searches but do see games from this company. From what little i know this is from the 1930s because of how the Cinncinnati Ohio is written and has no zip code either. It is Tin metal, with a Copper metal strip on a wood board that is no corroded and spring loaded board with numbers that when you toss a ball or a bag it would push down and cause contact so the Eye would light up, This all is in great condition. There is a slot in the corner for a battery that i dont have, it is unchecked but i dont see rust or corrosion so probably if anything is bad would be the little small lighted eyes that would originally light up Green, you can see the picture of back the the green plastic gone but thats an easy fixer. Very solid, not rusted, very good condition for a game almost 100 yrs old. The game is 12”x12” x 7”inches and back and tappers down to a wedge in front.
