An extraordinary collection, gathered with singular focus, over many years. Invaluable for the insight it provides on the evolution of the American-Jewish community - especially on an informal, “street” level. Many items are likely unique examples. A number of the more esoteric items are accompanied by secondary literature. Prospective bidders: This lot may be examined by appointment only.
