Logan County Bicentennial Photo Album (Ohio -- Extra Ephemera Laid-in)

By: N/A

Price: $22.00

Publisher: Logan County, Ohio, Logan County Historical Society: 1976

Seller ID: 0491

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Fine

Oddly, here is no date on this pristine booklet, but opening remarks show that it coincided with the 200th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence which places it in 1976. Laid-in is a brochure which is a second clue since it commemorates the 1976 designation of East Court Avenue, in Bellefontaine, Ohio as a National Historical Civil Engineering Landmark. It seems that this small town was the first place in the country to have a road paved with concrete. The booklet itself is filled with historic pictures and captions. 72 crisp, clean pages.

Condition: booklet fine; postcard very good

The booklet is crisp and clean as new, but shows no publishing information. Inside, however, we found a beautiful sepia postcard pg Garfield Memorial at Lake View postmarked, February 8, 1909, Cleveland, Ohio. The divided back shows this message, "Regards from the Rabensteins Cleveland, Ohio, Bill." The address portion reads, Miss Anna Kiefler c/o Telephone Exchange, Cincinnati, Ohio Sta. L.. The booklet measures 6-1/4"x9-1/4" and has nine pages of text and photographs. It's clearly much newer than the postcard, but we found them together and they augment one another -- so together they stay!
