Publisher: Westerville, Ohio, The Ohio Woman's Christian Temperance Union: 1937

Edition: Volume L. Nos. 6. 8, 11

Seller ID: 3333

I have a copy of one of these on here at this writing, dating from the early 1900's. I thought that by the 1930's that that cause had been put to rest. But no -- the organization was as passionate in the 30's to continue the war on alcohol. Two big assemblies were back-to-back in July -- first in Lakeside, Ohio and then in Lancaster, Michigan. Here's a few headlines from the Ohio Messenger: Alcohol As a Medicine; A National Outrage (the end of prohibition); Liquor's Vast Program to Reach Youth and Women Through the Magazines; New Deal In Business as Rum Manufacturers;and Why I Don't Drink Whi...

The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Quarterly 1945 (Full Run, 4 Issues)

By: N/A

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Columbus, Ohio, the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society: 1945

Seller ID: 0740

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Good to Very Good

It's unsuual to find a whole set of these early journals, but here we have them. Were it not for the yapped edges, which protect the contents well, but themselves tear and fall off, or get trimmed off by the owner after they run amok, these would be incredibly good. As it is, there has been some trimming and there are some edge tears, but the journals are clean and nice inside and are tightly bound. One contains photographs, the others do not. Topics include, but are not limited to: Origin and Significance of Pennsylvania Barn Symbols (photos); Quakers & the Shawnee Indians at Wapakoneta; the ...

Very interesting to note that teachers in Ohio in 1888 had to be certified annually, as this certificate expired in one year. Jennie Reed was issued to teach grade five in orthography, reading, writing, arithmetic, English grammar, geography, U.S. history, and theory and practice of teaching It was issued in April, 1888 and with it comes a small envelope containing the questions for the exam held the previous August, 1887in grammar,theory and practice, arithmetic and U.S. history. The rest must have been lost to time. The small envelope faintly bears the address (faded) in Reed Mills, Ohio, b...

Delaware Ohio Savings Bank 1898, 1899 Bank Certificates of Deposit for Investment

By: N/A

Price: $16.00

Publisher: Delaware, Ohio, Delaware Savings Bank Company: 1898, 1899

Seller ID: 0621

Condition: Good-plus

I'm not usually attracted to bank documents, but these deposit slips caught my eye primarily because of the stamps on the left side of each one. The older one states that Mary J.W. Kinnie deposited $700 in the Delaware, Ohio bank for six months with three per cent interest. The 1899 one was to the same bank, but written by William Fry in the amount of $1000, again for six months at three per cent. Both show the interest calculation scribbled on the front. The brown stamps are marked ten cents and the pink one is from the bank and is stamped with the exact date. Both certificates showed small t...

Postcard Evelyn Boat Russells Point, Ohio 1920

By: N/A

Price: $8.95

Publisher: Unknown, Unknown: 1920

Seller ID: 1368

Condition: Good

Nice postcard of the popular Logan County tour boat, Evelyn, filled to the brim with sightseers. The card's photo shows an attractive greenish tint and is captioned at the bottom "Evelyn Boat, Russells Point, Ohio." The bottom margin shows evidence of writing in pencil which seems to have faded almost away. The reverse pencil is also fading, but I can make out this much: Dear Mother, I am having a grand time. We went fishing and I caught a little fish. I've been over to Russells Point four times alright. We are going over to Sandy Beach today in a boat. Your Son. " The name is faded. Card was...

Seller ID: 1710

Condition: Very good

Here we have four different postcards and four views, all showing off the beautiful, mysterious Blue Hole of Castalia, Ohio, located six miles west of Sandusky. It was once a tourist destination, but is no longer open. The night shot of the hole captures beautifully the intense color of the water. Also, interesting is the giant water wheel and lady wearing high heels as she stands on the rocks to see it! The other two cards show different angle of the hole by day. All four cards are unused and are chrome. Divided backs. Each will arrive in its own plastic sleeve.

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Columbus, Ohio, Ohio Arts Council: 1998

Seller ID: 3847

This is one of those Ohioana items which are new to me. It's always fun when a new one appears. This over-sized booklet traces the beginning of the residential movement for Buckeye artists in 1983 when Ohio joined the Studio Workspace Program in Long Island, New York. Next came the Headlands Center for the Arts near San Francisco in 1997. The artists in residence shown in this booklet were Gretchen Stevens Cochran, Malcolm Cochran, James Duesing, Gilda Edwards, Sean Foley, Mitchell Sanford, Karen Snouffer, Kay Willens, and Walter Zurko.

Publisher: West Liberty, Ohio, Ohio Caverns:

Seller ID: 4047

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Near fine condition

Very handsome booklet showcasing the incredible natural caves of Ohio. There is oddly no date here, but likely it's to keep expenses down by ensuring booklet longevity. It makes sense too because this was a top notch presentation. Nice paper and a full page photo in color on every page. In addition to the sight of the Crystal Sea, Of Town Pump, Crystal King, Palace of the Gods, Devil' Tea Table, Jewel Rom, The Big Room, and Palace of Natural Art, there's also a chance to pan for gems. The booklet measures 6-3/4" x 9-3/4" with 32 pages.

Taylor Inn, Lodi, Ohio Postcard

By: N/A

Price: $9.95

Publisher: Germany, Unknown

Seller ID: 0124

Very bight and clean postcard which was filled out but never sent. The message is funny because Lodi is still a very small town and has no hotel at all these days. The card was addressed to Miss Lura Sheehan Alliance, Ohio. On the other side of the dividing line it reads "Hello, Lura -- You will think I have died, but I am very much alive. Now will you make fun of Lodi when we have a hotel like this? Come up if you don't believe it is truly here. Blanche."

To My Heart's Elect Cupid Flying on a Key Blue Foral Wreath 1910 Medina, Seville, Ohio

By: N/A

Price: $13.95

Publisher: New York & Berlin, International Art Publishing Company: 1910

Seller ID: 0281

Condition: Very good

Very pretty card in pastels and very imaginative too. The card is embossed and clean and attractive. It was sent Feb. 11th, 1910 to Bertha Randall, Medina Ohio from her cousin who lived in next-door Seville. The message, written in pencil, reads, "Dear Cousin, Will be there with bells on. Will get there about 4:10 or 4:20. Mabel." This is an interesting message for two reasons. One is the slangy "be there with bells on", a comment which remains part of the vernacular today. The other reason is the specific times quoted. Mabel must have been taking the interurban from Seville, Ohio to Medina,...
