Frank Sinatra Vinyl Record -- 7" Extend Play -- 45 RPM -- Columbia B-9023 -- A Fellow Needs A Girl -- Mean To Me by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

25.00 USD

Some might say sappy, some might say sweet, but there's no denying this vintage Frank Sinatra extended play vinyl 45 rpm record is a treat.

Written by Rogers and Hammerstein for their 1947 musical Allegro, A Fellow Needs a Girl is a simple, old-fashion love song. Originally recorded as a 78 record, I believe this issue dates from the early 1950s. There is no date on the record or sleeve.

This extended play 7" 45 rpm record (Columbia B-9023) also includes Poinciana, For Every Man There's a Woman, & Mean to Me.

Composed by Rodgers and Hammerstein
Orchestra Direction by Axel Stordahl.

Condition: Vinyl appears to be in good condition. There is a scratch on the B side ( For Every Man There's a Woman & Mean To Mean. Record sleeve shows typical wear.

Wood Bagatelle Game - Antique Pinball Game - Marble Game Board - Man Cave Wall Hanging by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

135.00 USD

Antique wood bagatelle game table, this rustic old marble board game has a homemade look. Bagatelle-type games, early precursors to modern pinball, date back to at least the 15th century.

This interesting game table dates to the late 1800s. It is made out of wood and has a wooden leg on one end that swivels into place slanting the board for play. The surface of the game board has configurations of nails strategically placed, awarding points to players when their marbles fall into these defined areas. Each one of these areas has a black painted number with a score value. There are also ten (10) marble-size circular depressions in the wood which grant points if a marble lands in them. One of these depressions is marked "Odd Color Marble Counts Double."

Marbles would have been put into play by a pulling a plunger on the front right-hand side of the table. The plugger is missing from this game table. Other than the missing plunger, the table-top game board is in remarkable condition for its age. There are a few dings and minor scratches in the wood.

The piece could be restored or used as a prop. I think it would make an awesome wall hanging in a man cave or game room.

Board measures approximately 20 3/4" long by 10 1/2" wide x 1 1/4" deep.

Marbles not included.

Norman Mailer - The Naked and The Dead - 1948 - 1st First Edition - Rinehart Symbol - WW II Fiction 20th Century Modern Classic Literature by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

32.00 USD

Norman Mailer's The Naked and The Dead, considered one of the best novels of World War II, catapulted the 25-year-old author to literary fame upon it's publication in 1948. The Rinehart symbol (an R in a circle) on the copyright page indicates that this is a 1st edition copy of this 20th-century classic.

Includes a New York Herald Tribune Weekly Book Review clipping of Richard Match's May 9, 1948 review of the book. I found the clipping neatly folded between pages 642 & 643. Consequently, there is significant yellowing on these pages from prolonged contact with the clipping.

Here's a quote from this glowing review.

"'The Naked and the Dead' is about infantrymen--or, rather, men in the infantry --and the despair, the lung-searing fatigue, the unutterable terror and horror of jungle war. Its author is Norman Mailer, aged twenty-five, writing out of Brooklyn, Harvard, Leyte and Japan. Forget the age and remember the name: Norman Mailer. With this one astonishing book, his first full-length work of fiction, he joins the ranks of major American novelists."

The Naked and the Dead
Norman Mailer (1923-2007)
Rinehart and Co, New York, 1948
First Edition
8vo. 721 pages
Printed in the USA by the Haddon Craftsmen
Black cloth printed in white on the spine.
No dust jacket.
Book is in good condition. Cover is chipped along spine, bottom edges and corners. There is a scratch on the back cover. Tight binding, clean pages, except where noted above.

135.00 USD

Album Von Berlin shows views of the German city in its late 1800s splendor before the devastation of two world wars. The large format photography souvenir book includes 4 double-page panorama and 43 city scenes. Many of these places were bombed out of existence during World War II.

The photographs capture the grandeur of Berlin's architecture and the scope of the city. The volume also includes peopled photographs showing the dress and modes of transportation of turn-of-the 19th century Germany.

The undated book was published by Globus Verlag in the early 1900s and has a cover designed by the prominent graphic designer and illustrator Jessie M. King of the Glasgow School of artists.

The book is in very good condition for its age. The decorative cloth cover shows typical wear but is in overall very good shape. The binding is intact. Someone wrote the number "41" on the upper right-hand cover in the corner. The number is very faint and less that 1/8" of an inch. The volume has the names and dates of visits to Berlin of several family members of the previous owner written on the front end paper as follows.

Daniel Huber 1909
}
Louise Huber 1913
Carl H. Daisy, Louise, Carl D. Schlachter 1925

The previous owner's name and a date (Daniel Huber Jr. 1909) and the number "41" are written on the title page. Again, the number "41" is very small and written on the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Book measures approximately 13 1/2" x 10 1/2".
