I found this amazing U.S. Army issue Christmas Card at a used book sale in a bin of miscellaneous correspondence from the 1950s and 1960s. Look closely and you will see the soldier in the drawing is looking down on a nativity scene of Mary, Joseph, & Baby Jesus under the Star of Bethlehem. The card was sent from the U.S. Army Marne Division.

The 3rd Infantry, also known as the Marne Division and the Rock of the Marne, was stationed in Germany during the Cold War, the time from which this card dates. This much decorated U.S. Army unit has an illustrious military history going back to WW I.

The soldier wrote his holiday message on the back of the greeting card.

Metal Logan Rural Mailbank is a classic still bank toy from the 1950 - 1960s. The galvanized steel rural style mail box is mounted on a red wood base. The box has a front latch that opens.

Cram's 12 inch celestial globe is a scarce find, and this one is in fine condition. This beautiful star globe shows the night sky against a heavenly blue background. The constellation globe has a celestial equator, ecliptic, autumnal and vernal equinoctial colures as well as summer and winter solstitial colures.

The globe is made up of coated paper gores over a plastic sphere. Major and familiar constellations such as the Great Dipper, the Sickle, and Orion are highlighted in yellow outline.

This outstanding vintage celestial globe is one of the last made before the space race and NASA's modern astronomy technology changed what we knew about the night sky and our universe. The globe has a full metal meridian with degree marks and a time dial at the top.

The globe sits in a full-ring gold-tone metal wire frame cradle with a metal horizontal ring with a printed table of the time, months, zodiac signs, degrees, and compass marks.

This is a genuine vintage globe not a reproduction. The globe is in remarkably good condition for its age showing light evidence of wear and the passage of time including spots on the printed table label on the horizontal ring, wear on the gold-tone wire frame and the metal meridian.

Long before the Internet granted us almost instant access to information, trivia, and argument settling answers to questions, people relied on books.

This handy nineteenth-century edition of Conklin's Vest Pocket Argument Settler would make a fun gift for the modern-day Internet geek. It's filled with information that a hip 19th-century man would need to know, starting with "Presidential Election Results by State 1860 to Date (1896), and ending with a "Table showing how many Days A Note has to Run." The book has an index of topics including:

Alaska, Cost of, to the United States
Argument Settlers About the Air, Earth, Water, Volcanoes, Earthquakes and the Human Species
Beliefs, Queer
Bell Time on Ships
Bicycle Questions and Argument Settlers
Brick, Number of, Required to Construct any Building

Scriptural Money, The Value of
Things That Never Will Be Settled
Valuable Suggestions to Clerks and Workingmen
Wheat Prices Since 1860, Annually
Year, The Ancient and Modern

And so much more, including advertising pages at the back.

This is a genuine antique book not a reproduction. Expect wear. Overall the small pocket-size book is in good condition. There is wear on the cover and a bit of fraying around the edges. The paper is very lightly tanned with age. The back hinge is broken and there is some separation at the front but the binding is tight. Note that the page prior to the title page sticks slightly (see photograph three) near the top of the page. There is a bookseller's star-shaped embossed stamp and a red price mark.

The first and larger chart has a few small tears, and is a bit crumpled. The binding is tight. Pages are mostly clean. I noted one horse wood block that had been outlined in pencil by a previous owner. There are a few dog-earred pages. The cover shows typical shelf wear with rubbing and some fraying at the top and bottom of the spine.

This is a big, heavy book, weighing well over 4 lbs. and measures approximately 10" long x 6 1/2" wide x 3" thick.
