Historical literature

[Mark75H]

I have more literature than I have room for, but unlike many hoarders, I did not acquire my stash to hide it away.

On this thread, I will be posting scans of stuff that I have purchased over the years. Most of it will be for sale for a price within 10% either way of what I paid for it.

Here's the first piece. Its a flyer for a 1942 race in Cleveland ... unusual because there was very little racing at this time during World War II. Paper collectors might be interested in this piece, it appears that the paper did have at least some yellow tint when it was new and it has an element of filler like the silk threads on paper money. I'll ask a print expert about this paper later today if I can remember.

EDIT: I asked about the paper ... its just an element of recycled paper fiber in the paper ... because during the war all good wood and new paper was being used for the war effort. Its a good example of inexpensive paper from 1942. Probably not a lot of this cheap paper left because it has a lot remnant acid from the processing. You can feel it just starting to get brittle, but this piece has a lot of life left in it.
