Based on a photo of the Polo Grounds RF during the 1912 World Series I began researching a signboard for Turkish Trophies (cigarettes). I came across a few historical photos with the similar signboard but nothing in color. Utilizing color photos of surviving memorabilia and print ads, I created a replica image. Since the replica is bland, I created another signboard with more color. Probably more representative of 1920s or 1930s advertising than the deadball era.

Add: The same signboard was used in the outfields of Hilltop Park and Washington Park.
Add: Also seen on the big RF wall of the Baker Bowl
Add: Seen on the lower LF wall of 1912 Fenway Park
