I routinely query “Newark NJ”, to see what Ebay has to offer. Almost too rich in history, and to just collect “Ballantine” would make for quite a hobby. Branch Brook park may be the worst, and if just for the postcards. In-between lies everything from Vaudeville posters, to milk bottles, and so glad that I grew up here. Is anyone else collecting Newark?

I have some calling cards from three or four folks...one of whom was a professor at Rutgers and one from a Mrs. ROBERT Ballatine.

I have few thong I saved .Post cards of the park , old poster from Hoffmans soda. THE OLDES THING I HAVE FROM NEWARK IS MEEEEEEEEEEEE
P.S LOVE THIS SITE

Years ago I posted a message saying that I would love to find a Public Service bus stop sign (the black and white circle with the bus coming at you and the people getting on).

Here it is on e-bay. Guess how much?

I'll trade it for some Ballantine church keys

If this is worth $2,500 I'm Arnold Palmer. I offered him $50.

I have an unopend bottle of Ballantine Beer from 1965. The label is for there 125th anniversary. 1840-1965.

JC,
You believe that? $2,500 for one of those Public Service signs?
A few years ago I saw one still standing in Livington or Roseland or some suburb like that. Anybody have a piple cutter?

Before you get to visit the cop shop for stealing any remaining Public Service signs, check out the antique car flea markets. The one-sided repros are real nice and were selling for about $18.00 each when I bought one a few years ago.
