Vintage Ephemera

With the wave of new inventory rolling into 13909 Antiques, we have some tremendous Antique and Vintage Books and Ephemera for you.

No. 1 - Leading off is everybody's favorite Tarzan - Johnny Weissmuller, with a not-commonly-found program from the 'Johnny Weissmuller Warercade of 1950'


14 pages showcasing the Tarzan and Jungle Jim star, and billed as "The World's Greatest Swimmer" (he did win 5 Olympic Championships, and broke 67 World Record by 1950).



Others in the program (including photos) are Norma Dean, Charlie Diehl (World's Heavyweight Diving Champion). Stan Dudek, Bill Lewin, Aquanymphs, The 3 Dolphins, The 4 La Vernes, Johnny Edmiston, Harold & Lola, Edwards & Hart, Sue and Al Lynn, as well as details of the show which was staged and produced by Noel Sherman. 

No. 2 - A real gem from the irrepressible performer, comedian, dancer, singer, actor and songwriter, Eddie Cantor, and his 'Eddie Cantor in Laughland', published (under exclusive contact with Cantor) by Goldsmith Publishing, in 1934.




It is a small book, in very good condition, a short story of Cantor, with sketchings, saving the people in the land of "Never Laugh" ...Of course, Cantor gets them laughing by the end of the book.


No. 3 - An Antique book, published in 1912, 'Mother Goose in Holland', is filled with classic, and some not-so-famous, nursey rhymes, with illustrations, some in color, 



This book is only in "Fair" condition, with a dirty cover, with some scratches,  a loose spine, some pages are loose, and there are pencil and crayon markings on the front and page pages.

Ah, but the nursery rhymes are classic, and you can still have a great time sharing this book with your children (they may be stunned, going from a computer, to an Early Century published book)

This isn't all ...

13909 Antiques is filled with Antique and Vintage Ephemera, and magazines, going back to the Early Century, including 1930's 'Life' magazines (including the very first one), 'Colliers', 'Ladies Home Journals', 'Companion', a batch of 1955 'Sports Illiustrated' and, even the 50's gossipy weekly news rag, 'Quick'.

So pop into 13909 Antiques and pick up some pieces of yesteryear!
