By: N/A

Seller ID: 0184

Condition: Fine

Very attractive real photo postcard of a Navajo mother and her papoose. Printed on AZO photographic paper the symbols of which in the stamp box show it to have been in use from 1924-1949. I believe the card is circa 1940, as it was inside a 1940 travel brochure. Beaneath the image is white captioning, but the wheel obliterates part of it, though there's enough to decipher Mullarky Photo. Photo has a light gloss and is unused.

Seller ID: 2789

Binding: soft cover

These four booklets taught young boys all manner of subjects -- first aid, Indian crafts, natural history, astronomy and more.

All you had to do was sign up through the mail and you could obtain the various publications and other items. In 1924, however, the loners merged with the Boy Scouts. The strong Native American influence was that of the works of Ernest Thompson Seton. Booklets measure 4" x 6" and have a cumulative 223 page count. Booklets a...

Condition: Fine condition with Bird's Eye View Laid-in

I had one of these before, but it didn't have this wonderful laid-in bird's eye view of the area as it was in 1884.

Price: $15.00

Publisher: Harbor Springs,Michigan, Little Traverse Regional Historical Society Inc.: circa 1991

Seller ID: 0507

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Fine

This is much newer than most of the things I buy, but it's a reprint of an 1887 history originally published in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The small format (just 5"x6-1/2" plus the simplicity of the binding, makes it rather ephemeral. This copy appears unread and is clean as a whistle inside and out. Hemingway fans will enjoy the stamp on the front page (see photo two) which commemorates the marriage of Papa and his first wife, Hadley Richardson, in Horton Bay, Michigan Sept. 3, 1921. The book tells the story of the Ottawa and Chippewa tribes of Michigan and also includes a grammar of their language...

Seller ID: 1585

ISBN: 0963085301

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Near fine

Very handsome booklet showcasing southwest American Indian pottery. I found a few extra articles on the topic laid-in, none of which caused any browning to pages. I have sequestered them in a plastic bag and will send along with the booklet. Everything is crisp and clean and there is no spine crease. Former owner's name on title page, a few tiny check marks next to a couple names on the list of artists at back, and two circled names on the Quezada family genealogy are only faults. There's a lot of information here, but it's the huge pictures and dramatic black and white design which makes it a...
