Seller ID: 1274

Binding: soft cover/flexible

Condition: both items very good

I acquired these two presidential collectibles together and decided to keep them that way, as they came from the same previous owner. The larger booklet is The McKinley National Memorial and is very handsome with its raised medallion at the front, its deckled page edges, and the two tipped-in photographs-- one of the president and the other of the memorial. This booklet is a soft cover which measures 7"x10" and has eight decorated pages printed on excellent heavy paper. The smaller booklet measures 3-1/2"x6-1/2" and has 16 pages comprised of the speech given by the President in Buffalo, New Y...

Postcard "The First Jury" Akron, Ohio Court House (1909)

By: N/A

Price: $20.00

Publisher: Akron, Ohio, Long & Taylor Comopany: 1909

Seller ID: 1333

Condition: Good

Depicted in this photo is the second court house in Akron, Ohio. It was completed in 1908 and there on the steps are the first jury in the new building. The card is postmarked January 25, 1909 and was sent to Edna Stocksdale of Dundee, Ohio. The message appears to have been partially erased and is virtually unreadable. Card also shows some smudges at back, but the main problem is a horizontal crease to entire card. The good news is it's in no danger of snapping off and is not hugely noticeable. This is an uncoomin card and I have placed it in a plastic sleeve.

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...

Seller ID: 2414

Binding: Hard cover

Condition: Very Good condition

Blossom Music Center of Akron, Ohio has welcomed the annual summer festival of music by the Cleveland Orchestra for decades. I have been there many times and yet I have never seen this book before.

Postcard Central Engine House Canton, Ohio

By: N/A

Price: $6.95

Publisher: United States, S.H. Knox & Co.: Unknown (early 1900's)

Seller ID: 2557

Condition: Very good

Very handsome scene of the Central Engine House located in Canton, Ohio. It should have delivered a date with the postmark, but the stamp is indecipherable. I think it's fair to presume that it dates from the early 1900's. The card was sent to Winona Knoll of Louisville, Ohio from her friend Sadie. The card is clean and nice with a small bit of wear to lower right hand corner (see photo) and two small shallow creases beneath the highest white cloud. You feel them more than see them. Card will arrive in a brand new sleeve.

Real Photo Postcard Canton, Ohio Woman's Club

By: N/A

Price: $20.00

Publisher: Canton, Ohio, circa 1920

Seller ID: 2558

Condition: Good-plus

This real photo postcard shows the handsome house which served as the Canton Ohio Woman's Club. There is no printed writing designating it, but someone penciled it at the bottom margin. The card was printed on Artura paper as seen in the stamp box. Artura was a company which provided real photo postcards from 1908-1924. I think this photo may have been taken in 1920, the year the club was established. At any rate it brings the span of possibility down to 1920-24. Card is clean and nice with just one small light stain to unused back of card/ Card will arrive in a brand new plastic sleeve.
