20 Play Books Saalfield Artcraft (1953)

Price: $39.95

Publisher: Akron. Ohio, Saalfield Publishing : 1953

Seller ID: 2277

I grew up in Akron, Ohio home of the old and beloved Saalfield Publishing Company. The company was known for books in boxes such as this one and also its licensing for Shirley Temple books. Saalfield had novels too for older kids, so we never grew out of them until we weren't kids anymore. This particular box is new to me, but I would have loved it.The box says it contains 20 playbooks for drawing, coloring, picture hunts, riddles, connect the dots, games and mazes. Twenty it may have been, but it ended up housing 22 -- no repeats and no coloring. Fun gift! Measures 6" x 9". Books are clean an...

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Japan, No publisher stated : No date. Circa 1940s-50's

Seller ID: 2894

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Like new

This is a charming paperdoll book with a Japanese flair. There's no date, but the pictures seem to suggest that it comes from the 1940's or 50s. Everything is die-cut, so no scissors necessary. Just pop out the dolls, the clothes, and the accessories and it's time to play. There are four pages filled with items -- I've photographed them all so you can see everything that comes with it. Book measures 7-1/2 x 10-1/2" in beautiful condition.

Seller ID: 2822

Condition: Fine condition

These are new to me. I just got them yesterday and have never seem them before. It looks like the local DAR had them made as a fundraiser. Each doll is in its original packaging and have not been opened. The blue paper at the top offers each lady's biography. The dolls and the inaugural dresses are on the front of each, but you can turn the package over and there's another costume -- two sheets per package. The ladies are as follows: Caroline Scott Harrison, Julia Dent, Grant; Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt; Florence Kling Harding ; Eleanor Roosevelt; Mamie Doud Eisenhower; Nancy Davis Reagan; a...

Hit The Mark! A Play Book (Saalfield Publishing 1943)

Price: $12.00

Publisher: Akron, Ohio, Saalfield : 1943

Seller ID: 1510

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very good

Book is clean and crisp with no names or penciling as per directions to play the game. It's not a title you see often because of its ephemeral lifespan. Once you've played it all, it's over. There's no date on it, but given that's it a war game it's most likely from the WWII era. The game requires a pencil and a ruler and pits the players against each other volleying "bullets, bombs, torpedoes and antiaircraft." The second picture explains how it's done. Book measures 6-3/4" x 7-3/4" and has 16 pages. Very scarce.

What a cute book this one is featuring the charming little kewpies and their extensive wardrobe. There's three dolls that pop out of the front cover and three more that pop out of the back. None of the five pages of cute duds require cutting either -- just pop! -- and they're ready for play. Forty-five outfits in all, not counting the hats! the book is lean inside and out and show just one fault --a little damage to the upper right corner thanks to an old price sticker.

Pictorial Review Magazine July, 1931 (Dolly Dingle, Herbert Hoover)

Price: $20.00

Publisher: New York, The Pictorial Review Company : 1931

Seller ID: 1411

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Good-plus

I love this summer cover painted by McClelland Barclay (whom I've always called the guy whose name sounds like it's backwards!). It sets just the right tone for the pages of summer fashions inside. Barclay was best known as a pin-up artist, but he did a lot of commercial advertising work too. The best thing about this issue though is the intact page of Dolly Dingle paper dolls, totally pristine and uncut. Also, of interest is an article about Herbert Hoover in the role of grandfather. The magazine is clean and tightly bound measuring 10-1/2"x14". Mailing label to bottom front and a few small,...

Stephens Publishing Coloring Books: Kitty-Kat, Playtime Pictures, Play Doctor (1950's)

Price: $20.00

Publisher: Sandusky, Ohio, Stephens Publishing : 1950's

Seller ID: 2603

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very good condition

Three cute oversized coloring books -- NONE USED -- came my way this weekend in bright, clean condition. They're big at 10-1/2" x 13" and are all clean and tightly bound. Only Kitty-Kat has a little problem -- a very small tear is on the bottom of each page, but I repaired each with a tiny piece of archival tape which doesn't brown and is almost invisible. Only one has a stated date, 1958, and that would be Playtime Pictures. They all, however, appear to be from the 50's, as I bought them together.
