Binding: Cloth

Condition: Near Fine

With nine ivory tassels or pulls with strings attached, which when pulled out from the fore-edge or side of the box, produce various sounds: a cock crowling, birds chirping, a donkey bray, a bleat, a moo, a coo, etc. Described by Peter Haining as "The piece de resistance of any collection of movables, or toy-books for that matter".

Pretty Farm Pictures. A Big Book for the Little Ones.

By: N/A

Price: $250.00

Publisher: London and New York, Ernest Nister and E. P. Dutton & Co.:

Seller ID: 001600

Binding: Boards attached by cloth spine

Condition: Very Good

N.d., circa 1890. With 19 large chromolithographs, including title, of animals and some children in bucolic settings, all on heavy card which gives the book real heft and durability. The size, 11 by 12 inches each, and prettiness of the illustrations sets this juvenile farm animal compilation from the common fare of the day, and surely the endearing cuteness of the images has led many a time to this book being broken for the purpose of framing the prints. Some soiling of the covers. The red cloth used on the spine has some fraying and weakening. Minor soiling of some margins within, but m...

Card-Houses

By: N/A

Price: $250.00

Seller ID: 001630

Binding: Box

Condition: Very Good

N.d., circa late 1800s. With 96 pictorial (chromolithographic) cards, and 38 blank cards. An folded instruction sheet as well as instructions pasted onto the underside of the box lid. Pictorial cards are interlocking so that they can be arranged to build various structures, and hence the name of the game, "Card-Houses". The game is in essence a precursor of Lego blocks. Of equal interest is the bright chromolithographic imagery of cats, children, roosters, other animals. The cards are each 4 by 2.5 inches, and they are clean and appropriately stiff. The box housing the cards has...

By: N/A

Price: $135.00

Publisher: New York presumed, 1879

Seller ID: 002161

Condition: Fine

An ornate dance card decorated with lace, silk ribbon and a chromolithographic die-cut centerpiece and gilt borders on the front cover. The style is very much akin to Valentine's Cards of the period. Within is a four page program listing dances and Supper to be served from 11 to 2 and on the back, the names of officers of the association, all now obscure personages. The Thistle Benevolent Association, which obviously goes back to 1832, was incorporated in 1851 to provide assistance to "the deserving poor". The card is in a fine state of preservation, with the requisite string also ...

Japanese Lacquer Album and Music Box Housing a Collection of Liebig Cards

By: N/A

Price: $1,500.00

Seller ID: 003367

Binding: Lacquer

Condition: Very Good Plus

A highly unusual album with a splendid collection of Liebig cards. N.d. The cards were produced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and the lacquer album itself is from the mid-twentieth century -- it could be from the twenties to the fifties -- but since it is probably that the collection of Liebig cards dates to the earlier part of that range, the album itself is surely from the earlier part of that range. 60 leaves, containing 180 Liebig chromolithographic cards, six per leaf, plus a larger chromo, or overlay of a few chromos, on first card leaf, featuring a Caucasion...

Unusual chromolithographic calendar which opens like a three panel mirror that might sit atop a lady's vanity. Closed, the calendar is 28 by 20 cm. Its full width when opened is 60 cm. When the top panels are pulled opened and to the side, revealed are three portraits of a beautiful young blue-eyed woman, the central portrait a bust, the two side portraits, full body and partial profiles. The decoration is a combination of Art Nouveau and Rococo Revival, with thick gilt serving as an outline border. The whole production is very pretty, if kitschy, with such things as the two outer panels ...

By: N/A

Price: $100.00

Seller ID: 004058

Binding: NA

Condition: Very Good

N.d., circa 1890. The boards of the four linked walls collapse to lay flat. The object of the game was to attempt to fish out small fish from within the well. None of these fish but one, nor the rods used, are now present, but the outer panels remain highly decorative with their illustration of fish, frogs, a kingfisher, lily pads and shore grasses. The four sides are in fact identical. The sides are oblong, each being 31.5 by 34 cm.

Five Au Bon Marché Cards from the Series "La Vie Maritime" Depicting Children in the Navy

By: N/A

Price: $100.00

Seller ID: 005686

Binding: NA

Condition: Very Good

N.d., circa 1900. Noted on cards is that the store was on the jury at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 -- it isn't clear whether these cards were issued in conjunction with the fair. Cards measure 10.5 by 15 cm. The full series, we believe, was six, meaning we lack one from the series. One card with evidence on text side of having been pasted into an album. A few closed tears, all but one miniscule, and the longer one is inconspicuous in our view.
