RARE 1912 - 13 Pierce Arrow Color Booklet
I have an amazing piece of automobile memorabila which came from my
late uncle's estate. Our families grew up in Buffalo, New York and my Uncle Clark pursued choice, quality items in many different areas of the collecting hobby. Here is a beautiful, original vintage color booklet from the Pierce-Arrow Motor Company, copyright 1912. This high quality advertising booklet showcases the 1912-13 Pierce Arrow Sixes. (Electric headlamps had just been adopted for the 1913 models!) Besides interesting and informative text, there are marvelous color and black and white illustrations inside, I've photographed some of them for you to check out at the link I've provided. As you'll see, there's an embossed dark green cover (with gold, teal, and red printing on it) and inside are 32 glossy pages in wonderful condition. Besides being stapled together, there's a nice accent string which decoratively binds the entire booklet. There's only minor flaws (light clear glue?) in two parts of the front cover (about the middle on the left edge and in the lower left), which could possibly be removed. I've chosen to leave it in it's current condition and leave that option to the next owner. Besides the cover flaws, the insides of this item are great…a 9 ½ to a 10 on a 10 scale. This is a really marvelous booklet; it is the real deal, not a reproduction. I would say that it's a gem which certainly will be a terrific addition to any collection...a nice gift idea too! And it could be awhile before another one of these quality, genuine Pierce- Arrow booklets surfaces again. Thanks for reading this! All the Best, Rick http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2481726665 |
