The globe is in good condition for a school globe that is well over 70-years old, but it does have issues. There are scuffs, soiling, dings, & areas paper loss, most notably in of the Eastern United States. The globes looks as if it might have been left uncovered in room that was being painted as there are what appear to be white paint drops on the globe (most notably on Morocco) as well as on the iron base. The iron base is rusty and the globe is secure, but a bit wobbly on the base. The base could easily be replaced. There are several areas where the plaster has been dented most notably in the Southern Hemisphere in the area of Argentina and in the area of the Himalaya Mountains.

I would be happy to send you additional photographs of the globe.

The globe has a 12 inch diameter and stands approximately 18 1/2 inches tall including the meridian and 14 1/2 inches wide including the meridian.

Law Book - Parliamentary Procedure - Antique Book - Rules of Order - Neely's Parliamentary Practice - Abingdon Press - Business - Government by HappyFortuneVintage

45.00 USD

Neely's Parliamentary Practice is a historically significant vintage law book outlining government and organizational procedures or rules of order. Starting with a detailed definition of a parliamentary body, the book gives succinct guidance on parliamentary assembly, procedure, questions, precedence, committees and commissions, meetings, laws, business, rights, duties, and powers. The book also includes a section on parliamentary practice in ecclesiastical organizations.

The contents of Bishop Thomas B. Neely's small book of parliamentary rules is important enough to warrant availably in digital e-book format. But why not own a physical copy of the original 1914 edition?

The slender volume is in very good condition for an 100-year-old book. The red clothbound cover has a lovely art nouveau floral decoration on the cover. The author's name and book title are gold leafed on the cover and spine. The corners show typical age-related wear around the edges. Several of the front pages look as if they had been paper clipped together at one point as you can see the clip imprint in the paper. Pages are clean. Binding is tight.

The book comes with a typed copy of a "Summary of Robert's Rule of Order" that I found tucked inside the volume.

The book would make a great gift for a lawyer or government official.

145.00 USD

The Breviarium Romanum, or Breviary, contains the Latin liturgical rites of the Catholic Church including prayers, hymns, psalms, and readings for daily use. This beautiful antique leather-bound copy of the Breviarium Romanum, Pars Hiemalis was published in 1914 by the Benziger Brothers.

The Breviary, Pars Hiemalis, is the winter volume of the Catholic rites, covering Advent, Christmastide, and the Epiphany, with prayers and readings up to and including the Saturday before the First Sunday of Lent.

This is an antique book dating from 1914. It is in good condition but does show age-appropriate wear from the passage of time and use. The leather binding is worn around the edges with some tearing and loss at the top of the spine. The pages are tanned with age yet supple. There is some light soiling on a few pages. Otherwise, the pages are clean. It looks as through someone cleanly cut the last three pages from the back of the book, or they may never have been present as it does not appear that any text is missing. Included with the antique prayer book are five (5) double-side pages of additional prayers:

1. Absolutiones Et Benedictiones
2. Antiphoae Et Versiculi
3. Miserere -- Magnificat -- Suffragium
4. Pro Commemoratione - Dominicarum et Feriarum

28.95 USD

Shiny Brite, the iconic American Christmas ornament company, produced a fantastic array of glass holiday baubles from the late 1930s into the 1960s. This set of lantern-shaped glass ornaments have red, green & white stripes. They came to me tied with the red ribbon you see in the photographs and I have kept the ornaments together.

The ornaments have lost most of their silvering. One of the ornaments has a replacement metal top which is marked "Poland" and doesn't quite fit the bulb. The other one has metal cap marked "Shiny Brite Made in U.S.A." The ornaments have typical signs of aging with spots, paint loss, & discoloration.

One ornament is approximately 2 3/4" long. The other one is about 3" long.

Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter - Man Cave Decor - Rock Movie - Rock and Roll Memorabilia - Rock Decor - Vintage Rock Poster - Selectavision by HappyFortuneVintage

45.00 USD

Rolling Stone's Gimme Shelter is not only a great rock and roll tune, but also the name of a documentary film covering the final leg of the band's 1969 U.S. tour, including the infamous Altamont Free Concert.

What you are looking at in this listing is Gimme Shelter in RCA SelectaVision VideoDisc format. Released in 1970, the movie quickly became a rock and roll classic. Selectavision disc players have mostly gone the way of the dinosaur. This disc has not been tested, and I cannot vouch that it is in playable condition. Should you happen to have a working Capacitance Electronic Disc (CED) system player lying around, you could check it out.

I'm selling the disc as a display piece akin to a vintage poster. The graphics on the front and back covers are amazing. Feature either the picture of Mick Jagger captured at the height of his youthful bad-boy rock star look, or display the back cover with the full band in pink silhouette against a teal green background, red lips, and a publicity blurb.

The disc cover is in good condition but it does show wear including soiling, dings, scratches, and tears, with several spots of paper loss.

Measures 14 inches x 12 7/8 inches wide 5/15 deep.
