This solid copy of Edward Bulwer Lytton's Alice or the Mysteries was published by John Wanamaker, the famous Philadelphia department store, circa 1920. First published at the dawn of the Victorian era, Alice is a sequel to Lytton's Ernst Maltravers.

Popular in his day and known for his "purple prose," Lord Lytton coined what is possibly the most often quoted opening line of a novel, "It was a dark and stormy night," as well as the phrase, "The pen is mightier than the sword."

The vintage book shows obvious wear from the passage of time and use. The top of the spine is fraying and the paper is tanning. There are various pencil marks on the front endpapers as well as an old sticker address sticker.

By Edward Bulwer Lyttton (Lord Lytton)

Double deck set of Fred Harvey Indians of the Southwest playing cards is a rare find. The playing cards have bold and beautiful graphics. The vintage playing card decks come in their original slip-case box.

Each deck has 52 cards. There are no jokers. The gold deck has gold gilt edges, and the silver deck has silver edges. The aces of spades in both decks are marked "The U.S. Playing Card Co, Cincinnati, U.S.A. P 1615."

The cards are in very good vintage condition. There is evidence of light wear but no creases or tears. The cards are crisp. The box shows shelf wear and is missing it's label. I believe the label would have identified this set as Congress Cell-u-Tone Finish playing cards.

Box measures 5 1/6 inches x 3 3/4 inches x 1 inch. Cards measure 3 1/2 inches x 2 3/8 inches.

Antique medicine box containing Schering & Glatz Urotropin is an interesting specimen of medical and pharmaceutical history.

Developed at the dawning of the mega commercial pharmaceutical industry, Urotropin was the first branded proprietary product of the drug hexamethylenetetramin. Heavily marketed to physicians, the brand name Urotropin became synonymous with hexamethylenetetramin.

The small rep sample has pretty floral packaging but please note that the apothecary box is in poor condition showing obvious signs of wear and age. It appears to have been opened at one time and then taped closed again. The box has split along one side. Box is marked "Trial Sample."

This is an antique pharmaceutical product being sold as display piece not for use.

Antique gutta percha pen box has a decorative hand-marbled paper overlay on the lid. Dating from the Victorian era, the antique box is the perfect desk organizer for stashing pens and pencils.

Gutta percha is a type of tree that produces a natural thermoplastic-like sap. Used for centuries by the islanders of the Malaysian archipelago, gutta percha became a popular manufacturing substance in the mid to late 19th century used in such diverse items as insulating material in undersea telegraph cables, Victorian mourning jewelry, and furniture.

The antique box is in very good condition for its age showing normal wear and tear including staining inside the box and a very small nick on the back lid by the hinge. Pens not included.

According to The New York Times, "The Peeps at Many Lands Series is an old and valued friend of young people whose parents have the discrimination to provide for them attractive food for the assuagement of that desire to know about "some place else" that is inherent in all vigorous young minds. " New York Times, July 3, 1921

This American edition of the Peeps at Many Lands England and Wales has its original dust jacket illustrated with a girl and boy riding a magic carpet through the sky. The book contains sixteen beautiful color illustrations of English and Welsh landscapes.

The dust jacket is worn with chips, tears, and paper loss at the corners and at the top and base of the spine, as well as soiling. But, the dust jacket has served to beautifully preserve the decorative red cloth cover and paste-down illustration of an English cottage and garden. Pages show light browning from age but are supple. Pages are clean. Binding is tight.

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.
