Price: $6.95

Publisher: St. Paul, Minnesota, B&B : 1917

Seller ID: 2500

Condition: Near fine condition

The colorful scene of a sportsman in a boat in what looks like a marshy area made me think this blotter might be newer than it is. I got out my magnifying glass and there it was though -- a 1917 date. The Willard Battery Storage company was founded in Cleveland in 1896 by Theodore Willard. It stayed the course al the way through WWII, but finally changed hands in 1952. As you can see, there's another comapany name on the blotter, the St. Thomas Storage Battery Company, but here's why. Under the phone number of St, Thomas it reads, "All Makes of Batteries Repaired. Authorized Willard Service S...

Price: $24.00

Publisher: Cleveland, Ohio, The Cleveland Academy : 1869

Seller ID: 3216

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Good-plus condition

It's interesting that in the eighth year of the Cleveland Academy the school still sent a circular rather than a catalog to students and would-be students. The other interesting thing is that the senior and middle grade classes were populated with girls only. The junior class and the preparatory class, however, had both girls AND boys, though girls dominated. Example --the junior class had 44 girls and nine boys. Members of the graduating class were Laura Barnett, Helen P. Briggs, Fannie A. Fuller, Nettie Hall, Grace A. Kingsley, Cora Kingsley, Gussie Marchand and Ada W. Simonds. The circular...

Seller ID: 1765

Binding: Hard Cover

They were originally written for the Sunday Cleveland Plain Dealer and appeared throughout March, April and May, 1944.

Publisher: Cleveland, Ohio, Broadway Photo Company : turn of the 20th century

Seller ID: 1305

Binding: Cabinet card

Condition: Very good

Cute little person in a very big chair. May be a rocking chair. There are no names on the back and no dates, so I'm guessing this picture was taken around the turn of the 20th century. The Broadway Photo Co. was located at 1150 Broadway, Cleveland, Ohio, but research hit a dead end from the start. The card measures 4-1/4"x6-1/2" and is very nice and clean with no wear to edges

Gorgeous photograph of downtown Cleveland at night. It appears to have never been framed, nor pasted in an album.

A very handsome catalog sent to would-be students.
