Manna from Vintage Heaven

[Marc Chevalier]

Time for a little ...

Sometimes manna falls into your lap. Gotta share this bit.


Apparel Arts: Volume V, No. 1 Advance Fall 1934. Intact and in good condition. Nearly as scarce as hens' teeth.


Just bought it for .... for .... $ 5.00.


Don't kill me. I'll post lots more purty images here soon, so we can all get enjoyment out it. Five bucks worth of fun.

O, Lucky Man!

Did the seller think he was asking too dear a price? That is beautiful.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Good question! The seller was very nice. It was an Internet purchase, but not through eBay. (Apparel Arts goes for hundreds of dollars there.)

What's cool is that we all win. The entire Fedora Lounge will get to see its pages, once I scan them. Then, I'll sell the book on eBay. It's a "win-win situation," as they say.

Lordy! Nice kill, Marc!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I couldn't believe it. Had to look twice at the computer screen. Five bucks? Huh?

[BegintheBeguine]

Thank you in advance for sharing. Looking at just the two pages is giving me pleasant chills.

Here's a taste of what's to come. These are from two Apparel Arts books (1932, 1937) that I sold a while back.

Way to go, Chevalier...

Another classic thread in the making. I can't wait to see more of this.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Me neither. But the shipping time is about two weeks.

Don't you love the ethnic stylizing/stereotyping of the various national skiing types on the slopes?

Classic stuff Marc - can't wait to see the followups.
