The ad contains the short piece "What is a B/G Sandwich Shop?," a photo of a typical restaurant, and plenty of boosterism declaring the chain to be 'Purely American." A neat little slice of America's rapidly-evolving food culture.

Condition: Good. 35 skillful ink drawings on small sheets paperclipped to a small string-bound notebook with handwritten assignments; a penciled war-themed drawing laid in with message "I Need Your Help / Stay on the Job." Overall the notebook looks like it's from the 1950s or 1960s, possibly from an art school class. The artist was clearly a talented amateur whose artwork examples-- probably copied from a text-- are pleasant and stylish. Good, insecting to outer wraps, rusting from staples.

Condition: Near Fine. [ca. 1870] Single handbill printed on recto only measuring roughly 6" x 5.25", announcing "Duncan Clark's / Jan. 13th / Lady Minstrels." No stranger to trouble with the law, what manager Clark advertised as a traveling "Lady Minstrel" show contained several men in drag. A performance which audiences across late 19th-century America found risque at the time, the Shreveport Times, hailed Clark's show was "the most obscene aggregation that has ever disgraced the American stage." In Chicago, audiences were outraged by Clark's show for it's female performers dressing too revealing and dancing too suggestively, though law enforcement singled out the drag aspect of the show to crack down upon.

Two 11" x 17" vintage black-and-white flyers protesting then-VP Dick Cheney's 2002 visit to Portland, Oregon. Staple holes, light wear. Popular Left/antiglobalization site Indymedia's web address written in marker on the bottom margin of one poster; highlighting to text of the other with dates corrected in sharpie, Cheney's eyes poked out to give him an even more demonic appearance. Uncommon. A real time capsule of protest in the tense months following 9/11, as dissent went through one of its lowest ebbs in modern memory. The antiglobalization movement had stalled, but organizing via the internet through sites like Indymedia was just beginning. The Bush administration was at its historical peak of popularity, but even then Dick Cheney was a magnet for derision, the Machiavellian grey eminence behind the scenes. To paraphrase a running joke at the time: if Cheney ever died, Bush might actually get to be President.

Single thin sheet; 4.8" x 7" leaflet printed in red and black. Verso numbered S W 3. Text in English. Very Good, folded in fours, tiny tear in top edge at fold. An illustrated WWII psychological warfare pamphlet from the Nazi German government, aimed at American soldiers in a slightly warped attempt at vernacular English. The recto features an illustration of city life in America, a man and a women merrily strolling through a city past one of the ubiquitous "Uncle Sam Wants You" American propaganda posters of the time, with a caption and verso that are meant to appeal to US soldiers' political cynicism and skepticism about American elites' motives. The strolling couple are meant to be some of the "Friendly Folks back home, those who stimulated the big war boom[,] eager to collect the prosperous profits." The reader is informed, "Your job is easy; You just got to die to fill their pockets." The stilted attempts at slang, coupled with the irony of the Nazi government attempting to appeal to Americans' pacifism and anti-elitism, make this an entertaining psywar pamphlet that showcases various difficulties of getting inside one's enemies' heads and amplifying their doubts.

Small collection of union documents from a welder during WWII, housed in leather pocket folder. The owner, one Victoria Brown of San Francisco, attended the War Production Training School in Seattle, where she learned to weld, and then at age 23 joined the International Brotherhood of Boiler Makers, Iron Ship Builders, and Helpers of America as an apprentice welder. During the war the union's ranks swelled to approximately 350,000. She found work at the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Co. for a few months. This small collection includes her union member's pocket folder, dues receipts, a promotion card, the backing paper of an Army-Navy Production Award emblem with a message from President Roosevelt and his facsimile signature, and her termination notice-- the reason given: "Going back to San Francisco." Apparently she did just that. Very Good overall with folding and light wear to documents. Leather pocket folder could be used again with ease-- hardly worn at all.

A vintage UFO-themed magazine stand lobby card for The Post of March 10, 1956, which reads, "'Eyewitness reports' from travelers to outer space[.] Read 'He Runs Flying Saucer Headquarters' This week in The Saturday Evening Post." The article, written by John Kobler, profiled James S. Rigberg, editor of Flying Saucer News, co-president of the associated club, and owner of a UFO and occult-themed bookstore in New York City. Kobler wrote: A small, mild, balding man of forty-two, with pronounced psychic leanings, Rigberg operates his store six days a week, from eight A.M. to ten P.M. chiefly as a clearinghouse for interplanetary intelligence. Assisted by his wife, he keeps a file of reports on unearthly spacecraft, as telephoned in or written to him by sky watchers the county over - he gets some 200 reports a week. [.] To encourage earthbound travel by visitors from other planets, Rigberg maintains a standing offer of a free one-year subscription to Flying Saucer News to any of them who will claim it in person. A rare piece of ephemera from the golden era of ufology with great Jetsons-style graphics. Makes a great gift for the operator of your local flying saucer headquarters.

A rare American promotional booklet for the British independent film Rude Boy, directed by Jack Hazan & David Mingay. It prominently featured the punk band The Clash and their music, but the band disavowed the film upon seeing an early edit. The film had scattered showings in the UK and even fewer showings, one would imagine, in the US so it's doubtful that many of these booklets were distributed in the first place, let alone survived.
