The greeting, A Happy New Year, is hiding in the pine boughts in the lower left hand corner, so is easy to miss. But what a handsome card this is! It's gilded and embossed with a bold image superimposed over a small winter vignette. Lovely! This card was sent to a Mrs. C. Nundahl of Perry, North Dakota. The message reads, "Dear friend, Your card received. Thanks. It is a fine ? you have. Wish I could visit you sometime. Let us send cards once in a while. Best wishes for a Happy New Year. M.A." Card shows a little corner wear at the top, but is otherwise clean and nice. View More...
This is really a pretty card with bright colors and virtually no wear, as it was never sent through the mail. The cardstock is exceptionally heavy and the design appears to be pasted on. It's a raised design which gives it an extra dimension. On the back it says Series 1700 Made In Germany. The divided back shows the recipient to be Sophie Nundahl of Perry, North Dakota. The message side says "A Happy Birthday Jan. 30, 1917 From E." View More...
This is a wonderful calendar, not only because it's clean and with no writing, but because it's pretty and has information from the Audubon Society.

These magazine are in incredible condition -- bright, clean -- no defects of note. I also have the two sleeves they came in with the magazine's address and that of the previous owner. It's possible the sleeves account for today's condition.The magazines addresses the activities of local groups, including prizes such as hand-embroidered tablecloth and bottles of liquor!But the big races were sponsored by the American Racing Pigeon Union who handed out cash.There is also advice for racers from a scientist who says that speed alone doesn't do the trick. Beginners can also learn from the articles ... View More...
A lazy river flowing through a leafy glen replete with two white swans and a lady in a canoe makes for a pastoral scene. This card is European in origin and shows no less than FOUR foreign stamps. Unfortunately, the postmark is blurred so I can't read the date, but I can see that the card was sent from Frankfurt. The writing too is very difficult to read even with magnificatrionTiny bit of corner wear, but otherwise lovely. View More...
I have never before seen this booklet until I bought it this morning. I did know that it derived from the Inn at Honey Run which opened in 1982 in Eastern Holmes County, Ohio.

Amazing how many species there are in Ohio and in Holmes Co. in particular. Booklet measures 4-3/4" x 8" and has 77 pages. No names or writing and very clean. AGF. / NAT .HIST. ] View More...

Old farm bulletins are interesting even to an urbanite like me. In their day they were the gold standard, replete with the imprimatur of the Department of Agriculture. Some of the material has been overridden by modern technology of course, but there's still nuggets of gold that can be very useful. This is one of the good ones, the result of much studying of crows in various locations. Booklet has 20 clean, tightly bound pages and measures 6" x 9". Booklet is illustrated with black and white photos, a graph and a map. View More...

Oh, how I wanted these! There were 20 altogether, but half of them were too awful to contemplate. The ones I bought are not going to be given tiaras for beauty, but at least they're only reasonably flawed. What makes them flawed are these things: partial spines required archival tape of five issues; a chewed lower edge of the front cover of one and to the lower right corner of another; a small bit of fairly light foxing and damp staining somewhere on each. There's also some vertical creasing, but I am going to iron them ASAP and put them in the book press overnight. There are many topics, incl... View More...
Other than former owner's name and address stamped on the bottom corner of the first page and a crease to lower back corner, there is no other defect. The name will resonate for those with ties to Medina city and/or Medina County, Ohio. The booklet is done in sepia which seems like the perfect color for the subject. There are many examples of decoys throughout. Booklet measures 8-1/2" x 11" with 32 pages. View More...
