Condition: Fine condition

This book didn't derive from the American Bicentennial, but rather from Cleveland women of 1896 and 1996. In 1896 men took over the city's 100th birthday, so when the century turned from 19th to 20th Cleveland women opened a time capsule which included a letter from Catherine Avery (Mrs. Elroy M. Avery) which asked Cleveland women what they had done to improve the city. At the time of writing she spoke of its good attributes, but also of dirty water, polluted air, homelessness and and poverty.

Lone Scouts of America: First Degree, Second Degree, Third Degree, Fourth Degree (circa 1915-1924)

Price: $120.00

Publisher: Chicago, Lone Scouts of America : circa 1915-24

Seller ID: 2789

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Good Condition

These four booklets taught young boys all manner of subjects -- first aid, Indian crafts, natural history, astronomy and more. The Lone Scouts were loosely organized, as membership did not hinge on adult leadership. Many kids lived in rural areas and were truly lone scouts. 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...

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".

Photograph Knights of Columbus circa 1917

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...

Covers the following towns: Atwater, Aurora, Brimfield, Charlestown, Deerfield, Edinburg, Mantua, Palmyra, Paris, Randolph, Ravenna, Rootstown, Shalersville, Streetsboro, Suffield and Windham.

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

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

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