Exceedingly rare 1566 newsbook... Over 450 years old...
Item #690168
August 21, 1566
Only rarely have we had the great pleasure to offer the earliest of "newspapers" to our customers, being the German newsbooks dating from the 1500's.
The title reads: Newe zeitung vom XXI Augusti auss Wien anno 1566" which translates, literally, to "New Newspaper from August 21, from Vienna in the year x66". These "newsbooks", as they were called, were the p... See More
Protests by unpaid war veterans... Rare title with pro-Loyalist leanings...
Item #687446
July 02, 1783
THE ROYAL GAZETTE, New York, July 2, 1783
* American Revolutionary War
* Extremely rare publication

This is a case where the rarity of the title surpasses the content within. This was a Tory newspaper by the infamous James Rivington who was supportive of the British cause.
Rivington's initially impartial stance shifted as the revolution loomed and public opini... See More
Terrific display issue on Lincoln's assassination...
Item #682478
April 16, 1865
NEW YORK HERALD, April 16, 1865 This date was a Sunday, and only rarely were Sunday newspapers bound into volumes held by libraries. As such, this date is arguably more scarce than the issue of April 15.
And when it comes to graphic appeal, it could also be argued that this edition of the 16th surpasses that of the 15th.
All columns on all 8 pages have black mourning rules for the death of... See More

Item #687598
July 14, 1881
THE TOMBSTONE EPITAPH, Arizona, July 14, 1881 Few could argue for a more recognizable title from the Old West, nor could any town be more linked to the romance of the West than this one. Tombstone is steeped in Western lore, and the several movies done concerning the gunfight at the O.K. Corral have kept this town in popular culture.
This issue was printed just 3 months before the famous gu... See More
Terrific & rare broadside "Extra" on the capture of Jefferson Davis...
Item #695818

* Very rare miniature broadside

The three headlines ... See More

BLACK HILLS DAILY PIONEER, Deadwood, Black Hills, March 3, 1878 This town would arguably be--along with Tombstone & Dodge City--one of the more famous of all the towns from the rough & tumble days of the Old West, and only rarely do such issues come to light. Plus, this is a volume 1 issue.
This issue is from the "heyday" of the Wild West. Some of the most celebrated names... See More
