REACH BOXING GLOVES ADVERTISING STANDEE (CIRCA 1930'S)

A.J. Reach & Co. was one of the largest producers of sporting goods in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its complex covered most of the block bounded by Tulip, Eyre, Memphis, and Palmer Streets in northern Fishtown. Although the original mill building dating from the late nineteenth century was demolished about 1980, the remaining three buildings of the complex still document the growth of Reach as a leader in the sporting goods field. Offered here is an extremely rare, circa 1930's advertising standee for Reach Boxing Gloves.
This is an original, cardboard advertising standee with stand still firmly attached to the back. Bold color and print. Bold, clear image. Tack hole and some soiling at top.Minor edge wear. Not creased or torn. Irregularly shaped to 11" x 22." Extremely rare, especially in this condition.
