Publisher: Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity:

Seller ID: 0122

Condition: Very good

This is a cool thing, whether you are an alum yourself or are looking for an ancestor who was a member. Looks like this was quite a bash, as brothers descended on the Hotel Hollendan for a five day gala -- December 27th to the 31st. It's interesting to note that Zeta Beta Tau was the first Jewish fraternity in the U.S.. It's not sectarian anymore, but it still was at the time of this event. The brochure measures 5-1/2"x8" and pulls out to reveal five printed page on the front and five on the back. Members came from City College of New York, Columbia, Pennsylvania.

Publisher: New York, The Camp Fire Girls Inc.: 1929

Old Scout manuals are fun to find, especially an older one like this for the Camp Fire Girls.

In addition to small drawings throughout there are many full page black and white photographs. The book is a handy size to carry at 4-1/2"x6-3/4" with 223 pages. Tesxt covers how to get started, honors, growing up, symbolism, standards, crafts, outdoor fun, safety and prevention and much more.

Price: $14.95

Publisher: Portage County, Ohio, Portage County Farm Bureau: 1932

Seller ID: 1194

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very good

Just got this from a collector who loved farm related ephemera. It's fairly hard to find, but interesting not only for its farm content, which mostly consists of the make-up of the bureau in various Portage Co. towns, but for its local names and accompanying advertising. Booklet measures 6"x9" and has 44 pages. Covers the following towns: Atwater, Aurora, Brimfield, Charlestown, Deerfield, Edinburg, Mantua, Palmyra, Paris, Randolph, Ravenna, Rootstown, Shalersville, Streetsboro, Suffield and Windham.

Seller ID: 0768

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very good

Very nice booklet oversized at 8"x10-1/2" Though clearly an advertising vehicle for the Copper and Brass Research Association, the contents are most impressive -- NOT a "fluff piece."

Price: $24.00

Publisher: The North American Association of Venezuela: 1966

Seller ID: 0912

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Good

Surprisingly scarce program published in honor of the 25th Independence Day Dance hosted by the North American Association of Venezuela. Clearly, this was a big event, as the ads in the program are largely national -- Chrysler has the back cover and Helena Rubenstein cosmetics has the flip side. Others inside include Ponds, Sears, Chevrolet, Elizabeth Arden and many more. The program is large at 9"x12" and has much information about the event itself, the liberation of Venezuela, and the ties that bind Venezuela to the United States. Illustrated with black and white photographs. The program is...

The American Rifleman Magazine July 1931 (Portsmouth, Ohio First Muzzle-loading Matches)

By: N/A

Price: $20.00

Publisher: Washington D.C., National Rifle Association: 1931

Seller ID: 1319

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Good-plus

Magazine has been cleaned by me and a short area at top of spine has been repaired, also by me, with almost invisible archival tape to keep it from worsening. There is still some soil to cover, but overall this is a nice, tightly bound piece. It's a large one too measuring 9"x12". The big story to me was the launch of the first muzzleloading shooting matches at Portsmouth, Ohio, an event which also launched the rebirth of shooting black powder firearms as a sport. Other topics include woodchuck hunting, the Super-X. cartridges, the new Bausch & Lomb Spottong Scope, and much more. 52 pages

Seller ID: 1971

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Good-plus condition

Ephemera from the Excelsior Club, a social venue founded in Cleveland in 1872, is not often seen, but here we have a program from New Year's Eve 1927. The club was much like the Cleveland Union Club, but for upscale Jewish families with a Germanic cultural background. From the beginning help from the Halle family of Halle's department store fame was integral to the club's success. The program shows the scenes of a musical "The Good Old Days" which required members to take to the stage as singers, dancers, musicians, actors and tambourine players. Looks like great fun and is a glimpse at a Cl...

Each is illustrated with black and white photos and covers a wide array of topics. Here's some highlighta: 1978 -- China's lilies; miniature lilies; our ancestor's lilies; a theory on disease resistance and susceptibility; breeding lilies on the Canadian prairies; cloning wood ...

Photograph Knights of Columbus circa 1917

By: N/A

Price: $14.00

Publisher: Likely location, Cleveland, Ohio, Unknown photographer: circa 1917

Seller ID: 2060

Condition: Very good condition

This photo is very nice, but I initially thought because the date was apropos to WWI the uniform was military. I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to track it down, but I could only find some of the elements, not all. It wasn't until I remembered the plumed hats on the Knights of Columbus from when I was a kid that I made an easy match. The picture has a stamped logo at the bottom which comes down to meet the lower half of it on the backing. Under it someone penciled the name Rudolph Huettrich c. 1917. I think he lived at least for awhile in the Cleveland, Ohio area. With backing, th...

Publisher: U.S.A., Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America: 1938

Seller ID: 2517

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Very good condition

Very nice clean program with just two very tiny tears to top edge of front cover.It says on the bottom of that cover that it's a delegate's memo book and as such offers blank pages for notes on one side of the pages and information on the other. This delegate whose name is at the top -- Richard Wysocki -- did not write in it. In this case it would have been even better if he had. Nevertheless, early union material is always a great find. This program measures 4" x 9-1/4".

Seller ID: 2341

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very good condition

These little magazines are great fun to read whether you believe in dowsing, or you don't. They're all clean and tightly bound and there are no labels. One issue shows foxing to the first two pages (see last photo) caused by a catalog of books available in the Dowser Society Bookshop. The catalog almost makes it worth the defect -- no, I think it actually does! :-) The magazines measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and have around 47 pages each. Here's asample of topics: the use of numbers in magic and healing, dowsing and the healing art, dowsing in everyday life, reflexology, what makes a good dowser, ...
