MENU PRESIDENT SPECIAL PAN AMERICAN AIRLINES CURRIER & IVES
The menu is 7 by 8 1/2 inches folded. The front is a reproduction of a Currier nad Ives print of the Clipper Ship Great Republic. This is clearly a first Class passengers' dinner menu. The food (Cuisine) was catered by Maxim's of Paris. Sounds like a really good meal. I believe that this menu is C1970. It is in very good condition.

#E20 - $5

 KODAK CONTRAST VIEWING GUIDE
I'm not sure how this little gadget works exactly. You're supposed to look through the various colored windows (cellophane, it looks like) and whichever gives you the desired contrast, tells you which Wratten filter to use with Kodak Panchromatic film. Frankly, all it does is make things look colored to me. I think it is probably about 1947 from the stock number (2-47-ch). Comes with its own little envelope with ads for other (probably equally arcane) stuff to buy from Kodak.

BOOKLET MAOIST CHINA & HEROIN POSSONY
Maoist China and Heroin by Stefan T. Possony, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace, published by China Publishing Company, Taipei, Taiwan, 1972. The little book is three and five eighths by nine and one quarter inches and has forty-nine pages. It is in excellent condition with a small soiled patch on the front cover and one small ink mark on the margin of one page. This appears to be a serious study of the use made by Communist China of heroin in its war against the West. It may, of course, be a wholly or partly spurious piece of anti-Communist propaganda. The author seems to have good credentials and the citations and facts may all be correct. You judge.

It has been folded and shows a little creasing but still displays well. It is advertising Ovrhaul, which appears to work much the same way as Slick 50. (What do I know? I'm just a female!)

CHRISTMAS CARD BOOKMARK
The bookmark measures two and three eighths by seven inches and is in good condition. It shows stylized deer leaping against an orange moon and has a little Christmas verse. It was printed by Dennison in the U.S.A. and is probably from the nineteen thirties. (A guesstimate based both on the style and the circumstances in which it was found.)

Nine and one half by seven and three quarter inches. It is printed on thin paper with a plain reverse and was probably part of a travel brochure package. It has a vertical fold and has a small tear on the fold near the center. It was removed from a scrap album assembled C1885 but as it shows the completed Trans Canada Railroad, it must have been a late entry. It could, of course, have been printed whilst the TransCanada Railroad was still under construction. It is signed

There is no date that I can see but the trucks look like the truck my Grandpa had in the late forties. The advertising is for a stake truck and a panel truck (what we now call a van). Lots of pictures and technical specs. Unlike today, they aren't pushing color and style on a working vehicle.
