Online Auctions/Local Images (Moderated by BLeafe) / 1898 photo: Spanish-American War soldier returns to Hackensack

« on: October 25, 2010, 01:26:48 AM »

http://cgi.ebay.com/PHOTOGRAPH-SPANISH-AMERICAN-Soldier-IDENTIFIED-c1898-/250713330636?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5fadd3cc

Description:

Offered for sale is a very nice full length portrait of Corporal. J.A. Vaukeler. Inscribed on the reverse as follows... Corp J.A. Vaukeler Taken by G.A. Vaukler in coming home from war with Spain Sept. 24 1898. Hackensack, N.J. Photo alone measures 3 3/8" square. Matte border has missing corners, can be re-matted over existing matte, saving the description on the reverse. Photo in very good condition.

I think the seller has managed to spell the name two different ways - both incorrectly.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Wabash-Railway-Receivership-Postcard-1937-Wall-Street-/390253383735?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5adcea1037

Descriptions:

1. Measuring about 2-3/4" x 4-1/2", this pocket-sized leather-bound book contains the New Testament (421 pages) and Psalms (109 pages). It is published in Philadelphia by A. J. Holman Co., and is stated to be a "Holman Edition." It is the King James version. Although it is undated, it contains a single-page message from President Woodrow Wilson that is dated July 23, 1917, and there is a full page ink presentation on the front fly leaf dated 1918. The full text of the inscription is "Hackensack, New Jersey. Hiram W. Phillips, August 16, 1918, from Mother." These pocket Bibles were frequently given to soldiers heading out to war, and - although we have no precise provenance - we suspect that this was the case with this one.

It has a hinge crack at the front fly leaf, but the binding is otherwise still nice and tight. There is also some typical light surface and edge wear on the cover.

2. Measuring 6" x 8-1/2", and four pages long, the item in the first picture below is a leaflet by Elmer Clemons giving a brief history of Christ Church, Manlius, supposedly the oldest church in Onondaga County, New York. The picture on the front is a reproduction of a circa 1840 sketch of the church by local artist Augustus Rockwell.

Also included are the items in the second picturee, namely:

- The mailing envelope, postmarked De Witt, 1947, from E. E. Clemons to Hiram W. Phillips, in Hackensack, New Jersey.

- A two page letter from E. E. Clemons to Mr. Phillips regarding research into the genealogical history of the Phillips and Rockwell families. It is on the letterhead of the Onondaga Historical Society, of Syracuse.

- A fragment of a newspaper article regarding the Rockwell family.

3. Measuring 5-1/2" x 3-1/4", this item is a pre-printed postcard giving notice to certain Wabash Railway Company mortgage bond hold holders. The company was in receivership at the time. It is addressed to Nettie Phillips, of Hackensack, New Jersey, and has a Wall Street Station postmark dated July 21, 1937. I've taken close-up pictures of both sides so you can read them.

Online Auctions/Local Images (Moderated by BLeafe) / 1936(?) Mansion House Tavern NEW (and strange) PC

« on: October 23, 2010, 01:27:36 AM »

http://cgi.ebay.com/Postcard-Washington-Mansion-Tavern-Hackensack-c1936-/230541323406?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35ad556c8e

Description:

Postcard of Washington Mansion House Tavern in 1936 at Main St. and Washington Place in Hackensack NJ. The orginal photogrpah was part of a Historical Architectual Building Survey. This is a newer postcard made from old photograph. This measures 4 x 5 1/2"

We have a large B&W of this image in the site database (second image - smaller - below), but we don't have a yellow one that appears to be part negative and part positive (compare the house in both images - one dark, one light - and the upper floor shadow, which is light in this one.....yet the cars are not reversed.

The third image shows the yellow card with all the color taken out.

Weird.
