Red Cross War Fund WWII Ephemera 1944

By: N/A

Price: $25.00

Publisher: The American Red Cross:

Seller ID: 0089

Here's a WWII trio comprised of a Red Cross sticker, a leaflet from 1944 (four sided)titled "This Is My Share", and a large folded leaflet, again four-sided and from 1944, titled "Red Cross At His Side". All are in very nice clean condition, but the large one needs to be handled carefully when opened, as old paper of this type can be easily torn. So far it's done well! The large one measures 11"x16" when closed and opens to a full page spread of photographs while the reverse shows cartoons about how the Red Cross handles the injured on the road to recovery, those in home service, prisoners of ...

Munsey Magazine October 1896

By: N/A

Price: $15.00

Publisher: New York, Frank A. Munsey: 1896

Seller ID: 0504

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Good

It's interesting how Munsey Magazine had a HUGE circulation and yet it's less well known than Century, Harper's and Frank Leslie's. I just got six issues though so am happy as a clam. Before I tell you about this one though here's a fun fact about Munsey -- it was considered a bit racy and some stores would not stock it due to its "undressed women and undressed statuary." This issue is clean and tightly bound, but as you can see, a previous owner trimmed off the overhang of the yapped edges-- a common reaction when they develop chips and tears. Magazine offers great ads, fiction and articles ...

Cleveland Official Souvenir of the Thirty-Fifth National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic 1911

By: N/A

Price: $40.00

Publisher: Cleveland, E.W. Doty: 1901

Seller ID: 0651

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Good

Wonderful souvenir of the encampment of the Grand Old Army in Cleveland in September, 1911. The program is clean and tightly bound, but does have some faults which include small tears to the yapped edges, a slight vertical crease to a few front pages and soil in a distinct grid pattern to back cover. This is not an oil-based stain, as it does not appear on the reverse side. The binding is tight thanks to two staples, but I wonder if at one time it was bound with thread, as there are three very tiny holes through the entire spine. At any rate, the pages are clean as a whistle and there are 92 o...

Presentation Program Army-Navy Production Award York Corporation 1943

By: N/A

Price: $14.95

Publisher: Yoek, Pennsylvania, York Corporation: 1943

Seller ID: 0842

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Very good

A little age toning to the cover is the only fault of this program published to commemorate the York Corporation (refrigeration and air conditioning) as recipient of the Army-Navy Production Award conferred on November 23, 1943. The first page indicates that the award is for high achievement in the production of war material. I have several times had programs for the Navy "E" Award, but this one surpasses it because it denotes production for both branches of service and is NOT a permanent award. Companies had to continue maintaining a level production level to be allowed to fly the "E" flag f...

By: N/A

Price: $40.00

Publisher: Germany, 1944

Seller ID: 0889

Condition: Good

Three tiny pin holes and remnants of two pieces of tape to upper corners are all that mar this original piece of WWII propaganda issued on July 21, 1944 following a radio speech at 1 a.m. that morning proclaiming the peace movement by leading German generals. I was able to find a translation which is the white page included with the photo. The reverse side of the original has a section which translates thus: "What This Means To You -- you know what the German Generals knew for weeks - that Germany has lost the war. The Peace Government may or may not be smashed, but no one can change the basic...
