Super
hard to find Esco chalkware statue of Louis Armstrong from 1972,
a real collector item for black memorabilia collectors as well as
fans of one of the world's greatest jazz musicians. The notable
design feature of the Esco Louis Armstrong is the exaggerated size
of the head and teeth, complemented with the nicely detailed and
dressed body. Louis clutches his trumpet to his chest as he grins
and prepares to play the next tune. Louis Armstrong was the first
vital jazz soloist to attain world wide influence as trumpeter,
entertainer, and show business personality. The statue stands approximately
16.0" high and 6.25" in diameter, and it's in very good
condition save for the occasional place in the chalkware body where
there are pin prick sized losses of paint, i.e. only noticeable
upon very close in examination. The Louis Armstrong statue stands
on a base which is inscribed Esco Products c. 1972. /225 |

Ogden- Plates I - IV of Group 1 - 1774-1783. These 4 17.0"
x 13.25" prints are part of a collection of 44 paintings completed
by H. A. Ogden more than 70 years ago and "long regarded as
the masterpiece of American military art." Issued originally

Army uniforms illustrate every type of dress and field uniform worn

the originals as well as a text describing the evolution and details
of the uniforms depicted." This set comprises Plate I (1774-1775
Independent Company Organizations), Plate II (1776-1779 Miscellaneous
Organizations- Continental Army), Plate III (1779-1783 Commander
in Chief, Aide De Camp, Line Officers, Etc.), and Plate IV (1779-1783
Infantry: Continental Army"). The plate number and description
is printed below each image, and all are signed in the print H.
A. Ogden. The set comes in the original folio and a full page description
of each of the 4 plates in this set, and folio and plates are in
very good condition with no tears or damage. H. A. Ogden is known
as one of America's finest illustrators working at the turn of the
century, and a specialist in the rendering of military dress and
vivid groupings of servicemen in full military regalia. Perfect
for framing, this outstanding set of 4 plates is indispensible for
the collector of Americana, student of military history, and everyone
interested in the fascinating evolution of uniforms worn by America's
fighting men and women. Great as a gift- collect the set!

For
any fan of politics or a political memorabilia collector, this is
a nice set of two vintage political campaign buttons contrasting
between a national race and a very local race. The "Kennedy"
John F. Kennedy presidential campaign button is a classic for any
collector of JFK fan, measuring approximately 1.125" in diameter
and featuring a smiling Jack Kennedy. On a much more local level,
the "Elect Murphy Mayor" is a red, white, and blue tribute
to the local town political process as well as the success of the
Irish in participating in that process. It measures approximately
1.125" in diameter and is in good condition with only some
minor rusting on the back of the pin; the Kennedy button is in excellent
condition, and both come to you as part of an interesting Chicago,
IL estate collection. |

The
1960s were a period of political and social turmoil, but the "Camelot"
White House of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy still capture
the imagination. From a major collector of Kennedy memorabilia,
this exciting set of 5 period magazines each features Jackie Kennedy
on the cover along with fascinating articles and photographs within.
In addition to the features on Jackie Kennedy, the magazines also
include some great vintage advertising. Among the many, we've photographed
a super B. F. Goodrich ad associated with their contributions to
the U.S. space and moon program and a vintage Chevrolet car ad that
includes the famous Thunderbird, Corvette, and other models from
Chevy's heyday. Mostly however, the Jacqueline Kennedy photos and
features were what was prized by this collector whose estate has
consigned the most valuable pieces exclusively to Collectics. The
set features Cosmopolitan (Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy: America's
Symbol of Loveliness- 4/61), Time (Jacqueline Kennedy- 1/20/61),
Newsweek (Looking Ahead- 1/6/64), Newsweek (Jacqueline Kennedy:
Life & Leisure- 1/1/62), and Newsweek (Jacqueline Kennedy and
the Death of a President- 12/26/66). Great as a gift for any collector
of Kennedy memorabilia and very difficult to find, all 5 magazines
are in very good condition and would look great framed. /55 |

If
you like Ike, you'll love this pair of two political pins commemorating
the presidential campaign of Dwight D. Eisenhower. On the left,
the rare Ike rhinestone pin is a lovely arrangement of red, white,
and blue rhinestones spelling out the one word campaign slogan "Ike"-
all that really needed to be said given the World War II fame of
Dwight Eisenhower. The pin measures approximately 1.0" long
and 0.75" high and is designed to clip on a shirt, hat, or
lapel. The other pin is a simple "Ike" spelled out in
goldtone metal, really a tie pin but able to be worn on a shirt,
hat, or lapel as well with the separate backing button. It measures
approximately 0.75" long and 0.675" high, and both pins
are in excellent condition. /35 |

Early
Tiffany & Co. commemorative vintage advertising thermometer
for the Franklin National Bank, with sterling silver base and Honeywell
thermometer. It's in great condition and seems to work just fine.
The style is classic, with round ball top sitting atop the sterling
silver base. There's a little tarnish on the silver which we've
chosen not to clean, leaving that decision to the end buyer. The
piece measures approximately 2.75" high, with a thermometer face
2.0" in diameter on a 2.0" diameter base. The thermometer is properly
marked underneath in the silver Tiffany & Co. Makers, Sterling,
and the serial number. This piece appeals to both Tiffany, mechanical,
and vintage advertising collectors and so does very well in the
market, and we've got this one at a great price. |

If
you weren't fortunate enough to get one of the "Special Hooters
Air Edition" of Hooters Magazine #50 commemorating Hooter's
20 years in business, here's your chance to still own one of these
collector copies with some great Hooters advertising. We figure
it's only a matter of time before Hooters and this special 50th
edition of Hooters Magazine harkens back to a bygone era when court
cases and protesters will have finished off a restaurant chain like
Hooters who still knows how to have tongue in cheek fun and not
take itself too seriously. You'll enjoy reading the magazine's 90
pages, but more so you'll enjoy the pages and pages of beautiful
Hooters girls in the Top 50 Hooters Girls of All Time section. Toward
the back is a hilarious spoof of what could have happened to Hooters
had radical protesters forced the chain to hire "Hooters Guys"
and had magazine articles like "Brazilian or Thong- Which Speedo
is Right For You?" There's some classic contemporary advertising
throughout the magazine including special ads commemorating and
congratulating Hooters from the likes of Coca-Cola and Michelob.
Magazine features make for an interesting read too, with articles
on the history of Hooters from its founding in Clearwater, Florida,
the original Hooters girl Lynne Austin, the launch of Hooters Air,
Hooters sports teams like Nascar and speedboat racing, Hooters news
and events, and much more. Included in a foldout inside the front
cover are the covers from the other 49 original Hooters Magazines
since the inception of its publishing. Direct from an Atlanta, GA
estate of a former Hooters executive, the magazine is in mint condition
and measures approximately 11.0" x 8.0"; cross listed
on Advertising 1. Only 2 copies left! |
