Vintage Pulp Fiction Book - Good Girl Art GGA Cover -Pulp Fiction Art - Book Cover Art - Man Cave Decor - Night Haunts Paris -Reginald Heade by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

19.95 USD

Night Haunts of Paris by Roland Vane (pseudonym of Ernest L. McKeag) is just what you would expect from a pulp fiction novel from the early 1950s. Written in an exposé style (pun intended), the back cover informs that "These exposures may shock you; they will certainly thrill you and hold your interest until the very last line."

Picked up at an estate sale, I just couldn't resist the title and cover. The slim work of pulp fiction came in a protective plastic wrapper which I will send along with the book. The wrapper has two stickers on it, one says "Night Haunts," and the other "Heade GGA Cover," referring to cover art by Reginald Heade. GGA is an an acronym for "good girl art," a pulp fiction art style term coined by the American Comic Book Company for cover art depicting sexy women in improbable poses.

Pulp fiction by definition refers to books printed on cheap pulp paper which ages quickly. The book is in good condition with typical tanned paper. The cover graphic is bright but has a chip off the edge and some soiling. There is sticker residue from a price tag and light soiling on the cover.

46.00 USD

This instant collection of antique silk embroidery thread on wooden spools has an industrial look and would make a cool decor accent in an office, home, or craft studio.

The vintage lot of silk thread includes four wood spool -- three in shades of green and one in a complementary shade of beige.

The vintage thread and wooden spools have a nice patina of age with some light soiling. As this antique silk thread is well over one hundred years old, it is being sold for display as the tensile strength may have deteriorated over time. There are some numeral notations on the top of the spools and you can faintly make out "Paterson" and "Imperial Silk" on one spool. Known as "Silk City," Paterson, N.J. was once a major industrial textile center.

Three of the spools are 3 5/8" tall with a 2" top and bottom diameter. One wooden spool is 2 5/8" tall with a 2 3/8" top and bottom diameter.
