1862 Johnson's Map of Washington and Oregon

By: N/A

Price: $145.00

Publisher: Unknown Location, Johnson and Ward: circa 1863

Seller ID: 1997

The 1862 map of the territories of Washington and Oregon is a lovely thing with its hand coloring and handsome double face font for lettering. If you look in the lower corner you see the number 57 which indicates it was the 57th plate in Alvin J. Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas published originally by Johnson and Browning in 1862. The question is when was this particular one printed? It states on the map that the publisher was Johnston and Ward which means it's around 1863, as that's the year the company's name changed from Johnson and Browning to Johnson and Ward. The map was made at ...

Publisher: Salt Lake City, Utah, Kopper Kard Co.: pre-postal code

Seller ID: 2398

Condition: Fine condition

This card is really attractive.The embossed metal captures the beauty of the Arizona Desert and is just oversized enough to do it justice. Card measures 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" which makes it too large to fit a postcard sleeve, but will arrive in a small cello bag that fits it perfectly. There's no date here, but the publisher's address shows no postal code, much less a zip code, so it's clearly vintage.

The 1988 Louis L'Amour Calendar

By: N/A

Price: $16.95

Publisher: Bantam Books: 1987

Seller ID: 4139

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Very good condition

I just bought this calendar this morning. It was a sale that had little to no ephemera, so I was astounded to see it up against some books on a long table. It was right out there -- I couldn't miss it if I tried and was actually the only one to look at it. As always it has to pass the calendar writing problem -- I won't buy them if they have writing, unless of course it was owned by someone famous. The paintings are beautiful, each one is in color and is a dustjacket from one of L'Amour's books. There's also a page inside that shows every book he ever wrote and has them all in series. The cale...

Price: $12.00

Publisher: De Smet, South Dakota, Unknown: 1971

Seller ID: 0566

Binding: soft cover

Very nice clean booklet SIGNED on title page by editor. If you collect Laura Ingalls Wilder this is a nice item to deepen the collection. It tells the story of Laura's sister-in-law Eliza and her experiences homesteading in De Smet, Dakota Territory beginning in 1879. The account is told in Eliza's own voice, as the booklet is comprised of the transcript of a speech Eliza gave to the Department of the Interior in Washington D.C. Sadly, the last few pages of the original manuscript went missing, so the story ends a bit abruptly, but additional material was added beneath by the editor about Eli...
