LOVE LETTERS TO THE BEATLES – SELECTED BY BILL ADLER – 1964 – DRAWINGS BY OSBORN – SIGNED??
Published by G. P. Putnam’s Sons, New York, 1964, unpaginated, B&W illustrations by Osborn, text block measures about 5 3/4 inches square.
INSCRIBED – “To Sue, from the Beatles -” PROBABLY NOT, but if it is, good for you. I purchased this book about 35 years ago from Sue, and my guess is that her mother made the inscription to Sue when Sue was a young girl. I believe she would have been in her early teens in 1964. I have compared the handwriting to known Beatle examples — and this is not by the Fab Four. But a fun conversation piece that now must go to the next home. You will love reading the letters.

1949 – AMERICAN FLYER and ERECTOR FUN & THRILLS CATALOG – GILBERT HALL OF SCIENCE– $25
So, here for your enjoyment is my 1949 32 page catalog with wonderful colors and illustrations of American Flyer trains and accessories. Covers have some tape (hard to see) on outside, thus some pages loose, tear bottom of front cover. Thus sold “as-is” “with all faults.”
I love this catalog, and its memories, and great colors of things I remember and wish I had – but, alas I cannot keep everything. ENJOY – thank you, RAY
1945 – RAILROAD TRANSPORTATIONS TEACHER’S KIT – ALL PHOTOS and BOOKLETS and POSTER
In its original envelope which is very worn as shown is what is probably an unused and complete kit, usually not seen this complete. Included are: 1 – original envelope from the Association of American Railroads 2 – A STUDY OF RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION – VOLUME 1 – TEACHER’S MANUAL FOR PRIMARY AND INTERMEDIATE GRADES WITH BIBLIOGRAPHY – Third Edition, 50 pages, these two booklets measure about 7 1/2 by 10 1/4 inches 3 – A STUDY OF RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION – VOLUME 2 – THE STORIES BEHIND THE PICTURES FOR PRIMARY AND INTERMEDIATE GRADES – Third Edition, 68 pages – full page devoted, with illustration and text, to Plates 1 through 56. 4 – PLATES 1 through 56 (a duplicate of plate 2) — verified and in order, my guess is since in order and never pinned on a classroom wall that this set was never used – plates are 8 1/2 by 11 inches 5 – PLATE 57 – not mentioned and seldom seen, this Plate 57 shows RAILWAY TRAD-MARKS on the front, and on the rear the names are listed in the position of each plate. 6 – Fold-Out Poster — ALL UNITED FOR VICTORY — the presence of this original poster further convinces me this “kit” was never used
A complete set with 57 plates, the two booklets BUT NOT THE POSTER has just been offered on a book site for $150.
A Nice Set for your Railroad Collection — and with the rare poster offered at $45

1998 – SAINT-PETERSBURG HISTORY OF THE CITY in PRESENTATION WOODEN OAK BOX
Making this unique from any other copy I have seen is the handsome oak presentation box the book is housed in and lined in red felt. On the cover of the wooden box is what appears to be a about a 2 3/4 bronze medallion – based upon my research (hopefully correct) the design is a version of the coat of arms approved July 24, 1882, during the reign of Emperor Alexander III. This modern version of this medal was struck in the 1990s by the Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) Mint as part of a series featuring the coats of arms of Russian cities and provinces.
Box measures about 11 x 14 x 3 5/8 inches – book about 8 3/4 x 11 1/2 x 1 1/2 – overall weight ten pounds. This book presents an objective, historical view dividing the city into three centuries — the era of its infancy, of its maturity, and the century of its stately present. Includes a special section with a brief historical account of the city’s five suburban gems.
there appears to be a faint couple water marks on the top, probably from a wet glass
