By: N/A

Price: $9.95

Publisher: Kansas City, Missouri, E. H. Wright Company: Unknown

Seller ID: 1690

Binding: soft cover

This is a cute little booklet designed to attract children, but also contains info for grown-ups to buy Wright's Condensed Smoke and Wright's Ham Pickle. The latter was huge -- 27 lbs of pickling salt which would cure as much as 280 pounds of meat! The booklet derived from the home office and was sent to smaller companies to send to their customers. In this instance it was stamped on the back F.H. Nickerson, Druggist, Greenwich, Ohio. The booklet is clean and nice with two tiny staple holes from mailing.

Wadsworth, Ohio Con Survey City Directory 1946

By: N/A

Price: $28.00

Publisher: Wadswirth, Ohio, Mullin-Kille Co. and News-Banner: 1946

Seller ID: 1704

Binding: Hard cover

Yes, this is a hard cover book, but it's one of those things that tend to get tossed as soon as the new version shows up. Wadsworth was a small town in 1946 (smaller than now) so the book measures just 6-1/2" x 9-1//4" and has 290 pages. Wonderful for genealogy, but also a nice Ohio collectible. There's several sections -- a business directory and phone number service and a telephone directory for privte citizens.

Scully Jones Company Slide No. 3

By: N/A

Price: $9.95

Publisher: Chicago, llinois, Scully-Jones and Company: Unknown, but pre-1963

Seller ID: 1700

I am fascinated by these sorts of little measuring devices -- can't let one pass me by. This one is not dated, but it's before zip codes which means it's from before 1963. It was made by Scully-Jones, designers and manufacturers of standard and special production tools, including tap and drill chucks, arbors, cutting tools, boring equipment, centers and more. This device provides dimensions for quickly drawing or machining Brown & Sharpe tapers. The slide is in good working condition and measures 4"x8" closed and twice the length when completely extended. Only faults are a small abrasion on o...

Your New Westclox Alarm (Miniature Advertising Book 1930's))

By: N/A

Price: $20.00

Publisher: La Salle, Illinois, Western Clock Company: 1920's - 1930's

Seller ID: 1782

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Fine condition

Attention miniature book collectors! Though this isn't really a book it became one when Westclox turned their advertising message into a story. The odds of finding one of these are probably poor to none because it measures a tiny 2-1/4" x 3-1/4". Oddly there's no date, but given the picture of the stove -- yes, the little book is illustrated -- appears to be from the late 20's or the 30's. Westclox made alarm clocks in 1909, so they were nothing new. But you'd never know that by reading the little book about all the many things a Westclox alarm clock can help you with through the day. The book...

Publisher: Pittsburgh, PA, D. Arnheim: early 1900's

Seller ID: 1788

Condition: Very good

Arnheim's liniment is best known for its slogan "For Man and Beast." It's an example of truth in advertising because Arnheim's peddled his product for both horses and people. The reverse side of the card shows a glowing testament of its efficacy for people, as well as a list of maladies it could help -- rheumatism, lumbago, bruises, sprained muscles and tendons, inflammatory sore throat or quinsy, diseases of the air passages, pains in the side, back or loins, cramps or pains in the bowels, neuralgia, headache and swelled face from toothache. Two cards have the exact same copy, but the third (...

Sketches by Boz, Charles Dickens; Goodall's Household Library 1885 (In Custom Made Box)

By: N/A

Price: $125.00

Publisher: Leeds, England, Goodall, Backhouse & Co.: 1885

Seller ID: 1891

ISBN: Dickens, Charles

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very Good in Very Good Box

This is a most unusual find, a copy of the Goodall Library edition of Charles Dickens' first published work which made its debut (in hard cover) in the 1830's. This is the second Goodall (British company) unabridged printing of 250,000 soft cover copies in 1895. It sounds like a lot -- and it is -- but it's not easy to find a copy, as it was ephemeral by nature. Whoever owned this one valued it enough to have a special box made to protect it -- and protect it it did. The booklet has a sewn binding which is tight and effective and its pages and cover are clean, showing only a tiny bit of foxing...

By: N/A

Price: $16.95

Publisher: Battle Creek, Michigan, Postum Cereal Company: After 1914

Seller ID: 1896

Binding: Hard Cover

Condition: Good-plus

This is an amazing little book published after the death of C.W. Post, the founder of the Postum Cereal Company which produced Grape Nuts and Post Toasties as well as the coffee substitute, Postum. From 1905 until his death in 1914 C.W. sued, was sued, and gained a reputation as a charlatan who worked overtime making bogus health claims against caffeine. He also came up with what was called a mysterious slogan for his breakfast beverage "There's a reason ...", thus the title of the book. Great pictures abound in here -- the ones at the front in color show such things at Post's private office. ...

Price: $12.95

Publisher: U.S.A., National Plan Service Inc.: 1951

Seller ID: 1900

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very Good condition

This is one of those consumer catalogs which derive from a central place and are printed with the names and addresses of local distributors. In this instance it was the Carter-Jones Lumber Company of Akron, Ohio. These designs must have had consumers pining for pink cabinets, breakfast bars, rounded mixing corners, dishwashers, decorative shelving, spacious eating areas, plentiful storage and even islands. Each design is in full color with a small architectural drawing and a description. Thirteen designs in all, plus a two page work sheet (unused) consisting of cut-outs and a grid to lay out y...

This is a very clean and attractive salesman's order book which includes the business card of the salesman himself located in a plastic pocket inside the back cover. His name was Edward Eberhard.

Inside the front cover is printed information for the sales force to mention to would-be customers. But the best part is the cereal's logo which features a real chef thought to be Frank White. Frank lived in Michigan and died with no stone on his grave. Long after the fact people in the area ...

Condition: Very Good

I've had one of these before, but not with the address of Khrushchov still laid-in. It's dated June 26,1959 and includes a portrait of the Russian leader. The booklet was printed to accompany the USSR exhibit. The cover is laminated as per design -- only fault is a wrinkle in the lamination on the front cover, a fault on the other one I had too. Booklet is otherwise very nice and clean. Measures 6-1/2" x 8-1/4" and has 16 pages. Color photo at back cover and inside back cover.

This calendar is absolutely pristine. It's one of those where the home office prints the names of the various agencies who in turn use it to reward their customers with an annual gift. There was only one image back then, but as always it's a nice one, especially if you are a doll collector. The calendar is big at 11" x 17" and all of the tear off month pages are intact. Very nice! The calendar will ship flat for $2 in the U.S..
