The Gibson Books - Vol. 1 and Vol. 2

"Holy Awesome Antiquarian, Batman!"

Here at 13909 Antiques, we don't toss around the description "Rare" lightly, and only in certain situations.

Well, we have one, a rather Rare item.

'The Gibson Books', both Volume 1 and Volume 2, and in Very Good-to-Excellent condition.



These are a collection of the published works of the profound, and prolific graphic artist, Charles Dana Gibson, that, along with his brilliant talent, and satire, is equally known for the creation of 'The Gibson Girls'

These were published in 1907, and our two Volumes are in Very Good-to-Execellent condition (one corner of one volume as a bit of wear).






Gibson's works are brilliant, and his satire is pinpoint hysterically funny - you just don't see something like this everyday ...

And, in event you snort that we are overhyping this, I suggest you do your own research ... Amazon has a Volume and not in good condition ... The Auction House Skinner has a Volume, that is falling apart ... Someone on eBay has a Volume, again, in poor condition ...

If you want to own a true, historic classic, come by 13909 Antiques and score these works - your life will be richer for it

Book'em Danno!

*** SOLD ***

No, this is about any police action, but rather an old bookcase ...

And, not just any old bookcase ...


A Vintage 1940's Larkin Bookcase

Measurement are 48"H, by 18"W, and 10"Deep, is either Cherry or Mahogany, and is in excellent condition.

 You have three shelves for items, plus two draws to use.


This is a great piece, if you need something for books, or knic knacs, and don't have a lot of room.

This is a real gem.


The Larkin Company was a prodigious outfit, first making their mark in selling soap, and then, using pioneering Direct Marketing techniques (before the term "Direct Marketing was even dreamed of), began selling their customers additional items, including furniture.
