By: N/A

Price: $24.00

Publisher: Pittsburgh, Pennsylania, Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company: 1934

Seller ID: 2794

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Very good condition

Nice oversized booklet about glass tile walls for bathrooms and kitchens. The top section of the cover is silver with white printing, so it's a bit hard to see the printing, but it's there and readable. Some of the ideas inside are amazingly ahead of their time, especially the baths with extra built-in storage. 1934 looked pretty good! The Carrara glass provided a nice backdrop too, especially since every page is in full color. The booklet measures 8-1/2" x 11-1/2" with 16 pages.

Atwater Radio Catalog 1927 / Atwater Kent Radio Log (1929)

By: N/A

Price: $28.00

Publisher: Philadelphia, Atwater Kent Manufacturing Company: 1927

Seller ID: 2878

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Good

These two Atwater Kent items came together so, as always, I kept them that way. The catalog isn't perfect, but is tightly bound and clean. Defects include vertical crease on all pages and cover, but I have ironed it flat and put it in the book press. There's a also a tiny corner missing to lower front cover, a part of mailing label on front has been removed, there's a few faint pencil marks on back, and evidence that something was once pasted on top edge of a two page spread (see photo). The radio card log is interesting -- it's completely filled in on both sides and dated 12-25-29.

Small hard cover vistors' guide which sports two large maps -- one in black and white of 1876 Philadelphia and the other a colorful panorama of the grounds of the exhibition. Both maps are good sized -- see photo of the fairgrounds map in full color below.

Keep it 'til 1976!" There's also a small newspaper about the Smithsonian's effort to create a new centennial in 1976! The good news is nobody threw...

Publisher: U.S.A., American Preservation: Unknown date

Seller ID: 3009

Binding: Disbound

Condition: Articles Very Good Condition

I found these disbound articles in a box of Architectual Review Magazines which I bought at auction. I almost tossed them out until I realized how worthy they are. Each of the 24 focuses on a particular area within a state located anywhere in the country. They all derived from American Preservation magazine, so the color photographs are stunning. Each article is pretty long with many images. I wish I had more room to show them. Areas are these: New Orleans Lower Garden District; Providence, Rhode Island; Salem Massachusetts; Eutaw, Alabama's Greek Revival Architecture; Galveston, Texas; Mizner...

By: N/A

Price: $12.95

Publisher: Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Stearns Studio: 1938

Seller ID: 3270

Binding: Fine condition

This is a very handsome photograph. I know the date was May 1, 1938 as written on the back of the front cover of the folder. What puzzled me a bit was the large white bows at the yougn boy's neck and arm, plus a boutonniere. But I did some research and found that arm bows were not unusual. The boy holds his missal and rosary, but the viewer's eye catches the cute little person beside him -- all dressed up for the big day and clutching a tiny purse. The image itself (minus the paper "frame") measures 4" x 5-3/4". Closed, the folder measures 6-1/2"x 9". No names were recorded, but the photogr...
