If you're restoring an old car there's nothing like the original manual to tuck into the glove compartment. Here we have not only the manual, but also the accompanying booklet about the car's emission control systems and their required maintenance and warranty information. Both measure 5" tall by 8" long and fit into their original blue plastic holder. The owner's manual shows some rubbing to blue cover and a small stain to side of text block which can be seen on the very edge of some pages inside. The emissions book is quite good with a light ring stain from a glass at back. Overall, both are... View More...

The paper cover is rather lightweight on this catalog, so it's no wonder it was a little loose. I re-enforced it with archival tape alongside the spine at the right hand side of the picture.

The catalog measures 8" tall and 11" wide and has 16 pages of info including the back cover. View More...

Crepe paper has long been synonymous with life's festive events and no one knew the business as well as the Dennison Manufacturing Company which set up shop in Framingham in 1897.

I love the pieces parts of a Ma-Jong game, but haven't a clue as to how you would play it. So here's the answer which will hopefully keep the ancient Chinese game being played in the 21st century. The first edition of this booklet was published in 1922 by the same company. The booklet measures 5-1/4" x 8" and has 44 pages with drawings. Only two defects -- a couple small light spots of foxing to first page and a crack at the lower front corner which I re-enforced at the reverse side (see photo). View More...

No date here, but there's one clue that tells us this Skil packet precedes the zip code which was introduced in 1963. The envelope is pretty good save some limpness to the flap, a few creases ,and some light soil which proved stubborn despite my efforts with the document pad. Inside are the operating instructions for the Skil Home Shop Model 578 Oscillating Sander, the ABc'S of Your Skil Home Shop Drills; and Skil Tool Home Shop and Homebuilders. Three items in all in the original envelope. The interior pieces are very clean. View More...

There's some spotting to first two pages and and back cover shows a couple of the same as well as some residual soil. Normally I wouldn't have bought it, but the manual is tightly bound and quite good inside. But the best part is that it comes with extra goodies.

The car was sold to a man from Cleveland on March 30, 1951, an Oldsmobile 98 Deluxe Convertible coupe with this lis... View More...
