Seller's description:

This is a great early picture frame that is made of oak and it is in excellent condition. This frame still has all the original hardware and its signed Original L.M. Jamre Studios N.Y. The frame is a 11x7 and the back had a name tag or piece of paper that reads Henry Lee Banta and below that it says Hackensack. Its a great early piece and i believe the guy is in a shed or cleaning out an outhouse. He has something in his hand and a cigar in his mouth. I will be listing about 30 other early frames and photos over the next 24 hours so check them out. Most of them are dated 1871-1912 and they all came from the same estate so if they are not dated they are still probally the same time period.


There's no indication that the photo's setting is Hackensack.

The seller identifies the man pictured as being "Henry Lee Banta", based on a handwritten notation on the back that also says "Hackensack". If you look at the middle name, the "L" looks kind of like an "S".

I thought "Henry See Banta" would be an odd name, so I looked up both names..............and both came up with results! The most immediate commonality I could find for both were posts by a Carolyn Banta who both sought and gave out information about the Banta family lineage.

I found an email address for her - I hope it's current - to tell her about this picture and to see if she could provide better information.

If she does, I'll post it.

When I featured these CDVs recently along with some of the doctor's medical stuff, I lamented the fact that they weren't bigger. Now they are.

They appear to be the same identical pair from that auction, but the seller's ID is not that of the winner of the previous auction.

Seller's description:

This is a brass advertising bell.  One side says KARTCH'S BOYS SHOPS MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.  The other side says 270 MAIN ST. PATERSON, NJ  59 LEXINGTON AVE. PASSAIC, NJ  215 MAIN ST. HACKENSACK, NJ.  It measureas about 3 1/4" high, 1 3/4" wide & 1 1/4" deep.  Excellent condition, the clapper still works, just needs a good cleaning.



So you thought you were cool buying your clothes at David Burr, huh? Piffle! Kartch's was the place to go in the mid-late 60s (after it no longer was a "boy's shop").

One of the bell's bottom edges looks kind of ragged. And it really does need a major cleaning. I used to have one of these and it should have a nice bronze color, mainly because that's what it is - bronze, not brass.

As close as I can tell, this is from 1949. I found this track listing among a zillion others for a thirty CD set. This is from "Rhythm & Blues Goes Rock'n'Roll Vol 1 - Disc 12":

17. Hackensack Mama - Johnny "Blues" Taylor (Capitol 70003) 1949

The number matches the one on the label.

Hackensack Discussion / Ticketed on Union St
« on: March 19, 2010, 09:31:04 PM »
Think he'll have reason to holla?

1723
I saw workers on the steeple yesterday and this morning I found out what happened.

If you look at the bottom of the picture on the left, you'll see what looks like a sort of picket fence that runs around the four sides of the steeple. Apparently, one side sustained damage during the storm and all or part of it wound up on the ground.

Yesterday, the workers started taking ALL sides out. I walked over to the church this morning and spoke to someone outside, who was supervising for the church, to find out what happened and what is to be done.

There will be a meeting next week to decide whether to leave it as is or replace what was removed. Of course, I expressed hope it would be replaced, but, as the gentleman reminded me, I'm probably the only one who sees and appreciates it being there.

He's right - probably no one will notice any difference.

There were a couple of the "pickets" nearby on the ground. I asked him if the church was keeping them for posterity.  He said, "No - you want one?"

So my ever-expanding collection of neighborhood pieces - which range from 20' below ground to 50' above it - has a new member.

In the picture on the right, the 28" piece with a hundred coats of white paint looks longingly at its old home from its new one.

Seller's description:

United States postal history. 1904 - 1915. Eight covers postmarked with Hackensack, New Jersey flag cancels.

Commercial covers from the Susquehanna Hotel, Riverside Planing Mill and Coal Company, Hutchinson & Andrus, Hackensack Trust, Hackensac Coal & Lumber.




These are not especially historic or valuable - I just like seeing the simplicity with which these old Hackensack businesses that we're semi-familiar with used to address their envelopes.

Can you imagine being a business and writing this on an envelope today.........

Mr. Otto Mehrkens
Town


...........and it gets right to Otto at 107 Main St, Hackensack?
