Long before the beginning of the Cold War with the USSR in 1947, the Catholic Church's anti communist efforts were well underway. Published before the end of World War 2 when Russia was still considered an ally, Communism Today Or Red Fascism, outlines the communist threat from outside our borders and within the United States from American communists "with their godless, ruthless, philosophy of life."

This is a genuine vintage political propaganda pamphlet published in 1945 by the Paulist Press not a recent reprint. The small booklet was read and passed around in its time and shows age and use appropriate wear. The cover is beginning to separate from the single-staple binding, there is some underlining in pencil on the first page, wear on the cover, a small 5 cent price stamp in ink on the cover, and other general signs of use.

These small silver plate individual serving vessels were once used in Italian hotels. Dating from the 1930s, I'm not sure of their original purpose, but you could use them for as teabag holder, for lemon slices, as individual creamers or salad dressing servers, etc.

Two of the vessels are bottom marked "Hôtels Giacomelli." The other vessel is bottom marked "Albergo Tettuccio" and is also marked "Broggi." Fratelli Broggi Milano made silver plate serving wear for the hotel and steamship trade.

The vessels will come to you with a beautiful patina of age acquired over the years. If you prefer your silver plate polished, please use a gentle cleaning method as these are vintage plated pieces.

Look closely at the photographs and you will see that the vessels vary ever so slightly in size, averaging approximately 4 inches across including the handle by 2 inches across by 1 1/2 inches tall.
