Advertising Blotters Woodall Stenographic Office, Woodall Letter Service (1920's)

Price: $12.95

Publisher: St. Paul, Minnesota, Brown & Bigelow : 1921, 1929

Seller ID: 2419

Condition: Very good condition

Here we have six unused ink blotters advertising under two names. The Woodall Stenographic Office blotters were all printed in 1921. At that time they advertised stenographic work, mimeographing and multigraphing. The other two advertised Woodall Letter Service and both of those were printed in 1929. They maintained the same services, but added some new ones too --mimeoscoping and printing. All blotters measures 3"x6". I'm not sure where this company was from, but it retained the same phone number which began with a Wabash prefix followed by four numbers.

It's called an etui and it contains a gold fruit knife, scissors, an ivory notecard, a snuff spoon/needle and pincers. The date is circa 1755.

Aldens Fall and Winter 1951-52 Catalog

Price: $35.00

Publisher: Chicago, Aldens : 1951

Seller ID: 3358

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Good condition

I wish the previous owner hadn't used the front cover as a scratch pad to see how much it would cost to buy two items. I wish even more that he or she had tried to erase it, maybe because the answer is wrong! Anyway this is a very nice catalog. I don't know this company and have never seen one of their catalogs, but I very much like the size which is easily handled at 5-1/2" x 9-1/2". The catalog has a whopping 972 pages of fashions for the whole family, toys, jewelry, engagement rings, household items, furniture, guns, shoes, typewriters and much more. This is a complete immersion into mater...

Publisher: Chicago, Oxford Manufacturing Company : 1895

Seller ID: 2846

Condition: Good-plus

At the time this manufacturer's certificate and warranty was extended in 1895 bicycles were all the rage. The warranty was good for a year from the date stated, October 14, 1895.

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Cleveland, Ohio, The Plain Dealer : 1944

Seller ID: 1765

They were originally written for the Sunday Cleveland Plain Dealer and appeared throughout March, April and May, 1944. Surnames included are: Black Cary, Case, Champion, Chapin, Codrington, Coe, Collens, Cox, Crawford, Dunn, Eaton, Eide, Emerson, Frackleton, Gerhauser, Girdler, Gund, Harshaw, Holliday, Hood,...

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Clinton. Iowa, Curtis Woodwork : 1944

Seller ID: 2788

Binding: Soft Cover

Condition: Fine Condition

I love when a nice ephemera item is hiding extras on the same subject. I bought the main booklet and -- surprise! -- I got two extra small booklets about kitchens and entrances and a letter from the company. Home builders knew that after the war there would be many people, especially veterans, yearning for a home of their own. The building trade started early to feed the pent-up desire, but by the time this advertising came out the end of the war was only a year away -- 1945. The yellow pamphlets measures 3-1/2" x 6-1/4". The large booklet measures 8-1/2" x 11" and has 15 pages covering windo...

Burdock Blood Bitters Trade Card (Man with Child in Head)

Price: $35.00

Publisher: Unknown, Burdock Blood Bitters : Unknown

Seller ID: 1292

Condition: Very good

This has to be the oddest trade card ever produced. I've had it for many years and, as you can see, it is part of the montage photo at the top of my website. I have finally decided to let it go even though I have still never figured out why the guy's head's ripped open to expose a rather creepy child inside. The turns of the "paper" look so real it's amazing. The card was issued to sell "the greatest of all blood purifiers." It's larger than average and measures 4-1/2"x6" and has numerous testimonials at back showing how effective it was for curing dyspepsia, biliousness, sick headache and con...

Seller ID: 3201

Condition: Very good

I grew up with top Value stamps and Green stamps, but I have no memory of savings stamps from the Cleveland Arcade Stores located on Euclid Avenue through to Superior.

The other store mentioned on the booklet was Toddle Town, an infants and childrens' store. The booklet measures 3-1/2" x 6". An unusual collectible not often seen.
