A lovely embossed postcard for Christmas by H. Wessler, copyright 1909. The card has a message on the reverse side and a one cent postage stamp. It does not appear, however, to have been cancelled.
17 photographic postcards from the 1920s and 1930s of mountain resort areas in Europe. Four of the postcards have writing on them. They were written in German to someone in Germany and are dated 1934.
The postcards came out of an estate of a German Jewish family that emigrated to the United States in the 1930s. The 18th postcard is of a woman, I believe her to be a family member.
Henny Penny, McLoughlin Bros., Springfield, Massachusetts, 1931. No illustrator is named however, the illustrator might be Hildegard Lupprian. Though not stated, I believe this is a first edition. The book is clean inside, no marks at all. The cover shows wear. The pages of the book are stapled together but have come away from the cover.
Map of Rhodus, 1574 by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg. Copper engraving from volume I of Braun and Hogenberg's 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum', the first collection of town plans.
