Picked up this little pin today at a local indoor flea market today. With my bad eyesight I could see a mark on the back. The seller said it is marked sterling and I figured for $10 it would work for me:


Got home and looked at it with a loupe:

Got this 1958 Scamp magazine yesterday as well:

 

Few recent finds. Got this 1950’s or so ‘Think’ IBM desktop sign for just more than $1 (very cool) The 1898 copy of Mansfield Park for less than $1. The Two Years Before the Mast was just over $1.Doesn’t have a publishing date. Many prints over the years. But couldn’t find another copy printed by the New York International Book Company. From what I read of this company the book was likely published between 1890-1896 (if I understood correctly)

 

IBM's "Think" slogan.
