Japanese War Years Receipt - Pair   -   Email
Price:  $28.00 USD	Item :  PPR103	Condition:  see descrip	Year:  40's war years
Description: This is a pair of matched receipts for a bicycle purchased in Japan toward the end of the war.  Both indicate that the amount was 351.40 yen.  One receipt is the Japanese version, while the other has the name and what the receipt is for written in English.   I can't read the Japanese writing, but there is a story to this receipt:  Joseph A. Riesinger was my father and he was in the army and stationed in Japan during WWII.  When he came home he brought his gun (didn't everybody?), a bicycle and a few other treasures.  I remember riding with him on this bicycle.   Payment by money order or check - hold on orders paid by check.

Promises of the Past   -   Email
Price:  $4.00 USD	Item :  PPR113	Condition:  see descrip	Year:  early 60's
Description: In the early to mid 60's the pharmaceutical companies did a lot of 'special edition' advertisements. They weren't really advertising a particular drug, but rather were a form of good-will advertising and usually dealt with some aspect of history, coin or stamp collecting or other 'momento'.  This series of tokens/charms and stones are each accompanied by a story about the ancient history surrounding the item and were brochures produced by the Eli Lilly Company.  Each panel was originally part of a larger brochure talking about their various new drugs.  There are 6 total but one is a duplicate.  The tokens are not really valuable, but it's a great history lesson! Included are the Egyptian Scarab, a Talisman of Abraxas, Tiger's Eye, Red Jasper and The Crown of the Magi.
