Presentation Program Army-Navy Production Award York Corporation 1943

By: N/A

Price: $14.95

Publisher: Yoek, Pennsylvania, York Corporation: 1943

Seller ID: 0842

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Very good

A little age toning to the cover is the only fault of this program published to commemorate the York Corporation (refrigeration and air conditioning) as recipient of the Army-Navy Production Award conferred on November 23, 1943. The first page indicates that the award is for high achievement in the production of war material. I have several times had programs for the Navy "E" Award, but this one surpasses it because it denotes production for both branches of service and is NOT a permanent award. Companies had to continue maintaining a level production level to be allowed to fly the "E" flag f...

By: N/A

Price: $14.95

Publisher: Pittsburgh, PA, Tip-Top Bread: 1950

Seller ID: 1122

Condition: Very good

I love the old advertising fans, especially the ones that fold out like this one does. If you're from Pittsburgh you probably recognize the Tip-Top brand. Love the tranquil water scene which emerges as you manipulate the three pieces. The back of the fan offers suggestions for summer taste sensations using Tip-Top. There was also a name printed on it (Richard) at one time, but there was an attempt to remove it at some point. Other than that this one is in great condition. Closed it measures 5" at the widest point and 7-1/4" tall. Open the fan measures 11" at the widest point. Clean and operat...

Fisher, the then governor of Pennsylvania.

Very handsome advertising product which also provides the customer with a tremendous amount of information about U.S. Steel's alloy steels which were known as Carilloy Steels since its trademark was adopted in 1936. There are many tables showing technical information in addition to text, but the best part is the industrial photography -- many full page blacka nd white photographs shot in the plant. The book has 175 pages and measures 6-1/4"x9". Only real fault is a small stain up against the spine at bottom edge. Very nice.

Clean tightly bound centenary celebration keepsake.

The Musical News: A Monthly Journal Devoted to Bands, Orchestras and Music In General (May 1892)

By: N/A

Price: $15.00

Publisher: Reading, Pennsylvania, No Authors or Editor Named: 1892

Seller ID: 2424

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Good condition

This was a small independent publication, issues of which are very hard to find. I've had it a long time, but it just surfaced today in one of my storage closets. There are short articles about arranging a programme; the death of Francesco Lamperti, the Italian singer; ease in violin playing; and others. But I do think the ads are what steal the show! Magazine is clean and tightly bound, but does show some toning to the back cover (see photo) and a flat vertical crease, likely from having been in a mailbox. I have ironed it flat and put it in the bookpress. Magazine measures 7" x 10" and has 1...
