Written for the general reader, Fred Hoyle's Frontiers of Astronomy presents an engaging picture of what was known about our Universe circa 1955, covering the Earth-Moon system, the origin of the planets, the Sun, composition of the stars, evolution of stars and galaxies, and the question of the origin of our Universe.

Hoyle, who coined the phrase "Big Bang Theory," was also a detractor of that theory. Known for his controversial position on many of the accepted scientific issues of his time, he was a promoter of the panspermia hypothesis as the origin of life on Earth.

The vintage astronomy book contains 45 pages of photographs including pictures of outer space provided by the Mt. Wilson and Palomar Observatories. The book also has over 60 line drawings.

The book is in good condition for its age. The original dust jacket show typical wear around the edges with some small tears, creases, and soiling. Pages are clean. Binding is tight. The top pages edges are a bit soiled from dust.

Decorating with vintage wooden advertising rulers is a fun way to create unique and interesting wall decor. This rare old ruler from the J.C. Yarn Co. could be the cornerstone of your collection.

Located for many years on Spring Street in the heart of what would become New York City's trendy Soho district, an old and faded painted J.C. Yarn sign was once still visible on the side of the building. I wonder if it is still there?

Painted white, the vintage advertising ruler has bold red and blue lettering and the image of an old 1930s rotary telephone. The ruler includes J.C. Yarn Co's two New York City addresses along with a CAnal exchange telephone number.

The vintage ruler is in good condition showing typical wear to the paint and some light soiling.

This small yellow duckling figurine is in very good vintage condition. The bottom of the piece has some rough spots and a flea bite around the firing hole. The piece is hand-signed "Lenci Italy" along with a circular symbol on the bottom. The bird also has a round paper Lenci seal.
