Radio Revival -T. Texas Tyler Collection A pristine hymn book in its original mailing envelope, complete with letter, glossy photo, and envelope with cancelled COD stamp. If you are a fan of this old western cowboy singer and songwriter, you will of course remember his famous "Deck of Cards". New interest is now being generated in this interesting cowboy figure who made many popular western recordings and later became a minister. This hymn book shows that his interest in religion did not come just late in life. The book was probably never used, as it remains in its envelope and the pages are pristine. There is a glossy studio photo and a letter that accompanies the book that tells a story with a moral. Nice little collection.
Condition: excellent
Year: 1939-1941
Title: book & photo
Type: T. Texas Tyler western music

 

Victorian Table Album with Religious Statues A Victorian table album which is meant to stand on the parlor table and contains family photos. It is an outstanding album in many ways. It contains 39 photos of family and includes 16 small photos, 4 to a page, and 23 single page photos. Many of the small photos are tinypes. All occasions are celebrated from weddings to funerals, there is even a photo of a baby arrayed on a funeral couch as if sleeping. It was not an unusual custom then when so many babies died in the first year of life to take a photo of the mourned child.
This album was bought in Minnesotta and depicts a Wahpeton, North Dakota family. Names unknown.
The album is in marvelous condition. One photo border only is torn.
The album removes from its hinged support and in back is a double mirrored door which opens to reveal the religious statues and holy water font inside.
The front cover is celluloid and shows a saint, probably St. Anthony holding the Christ Child. The wooden stand and album are covered in green patterned velvet. Gilt brass hinges and corner protectors and decorative scrolls. The hinges need to be re-inserted to hold the album securely.
Elaborate and complete, this is the best I have seen of this type. 15.5x10
Circa: ca 1900
Size: 15.5x10
Type: Celluloid & Velvet

Cram's Map of the World 7 Roller Maps Cram's Physical and Political Map of the World made for classroom use. The 7 maps are on a heavy roller and flip over to reveal the United States,No. America, So. America, Asia, Africa, Europe and a world map. Approximately 40" wide and 48" long. Unfortunately there was water damage and the lower portion of the combined maps is mildewed. However most of the maps are clean and undamaged. I can send individual pictures of each of the maps if interested. I date this as being issued between 1976 and 1979 as the Central African Republic became the Central African Empire during 1976 and 1979 and then reverted back. Despite the damage, which may be cleanable, I believe this to be a reasonable price for this expensive roller map.
Circa: 1976-79
