Title: Oliver Twist; or, the Parish Boy's Progress. By "Boz". In Three Volumes
Author: Dickens, Charles
Seller: John Windle Antiquarian Bookseller (United States)
Description: 1838. London: Richard Bentley, 1838. 3 vols., small 8vo, [i-iv], [1] 2-331, [332]; [i-iv], [1] 2-307 [308]; [iii-iv], [1] 2-315, [316] pp. 24 engraved illustrations by George Cruikshank, 1 as frontispiece to each volume. With half-titles in vols. I and II, with the advertisement leaf at beginning of vol. III, the 4 pages advertisements at end of vol. I, but without the single-leaf list of illustrations in vol. I found in some copies only. Neat repairs to the cloth, first signature in vol. 1 strengthened, boards slightly bumped and spotted but generally a very good copy with bookplates in all three volumes. § First edition in original cloth, with the title page credited to "Boz" rather than Dickens, and with the Fireside plate as the final plate in volume three. The first edition of Oliver Twist in original cloth is a cornerstone in any Dickens collection. Publication of the serial in Bentley's Miscellany began in 1837, and "when Bentley decided to publish Oliver Twist in book form before its completion in his periodical, Cruikshank was forced to complete the last few plates in haste. Dickens did not review them until the eve of publication and objected to the "Fireside" plate...and also disliked having "Boz" on the titlepage. He voiced these objections prior to the publication and the plate and the titlepage were changed between November 9 and 16" (Smith, 34). Smith I, 4. Eckel, pp. 59-62. Provenance: Each volume with the bookplates of the Albert Henry Wiggen (1868-1951), noted book collector and "the most colorful and attractive figure in the commercial banking world," the only member of the Federal Reserve Bank to have a law written specifically against his actions (the "Wiggin Provision"). On the upside, he was also a noted book and print collector and a major donor to the Boston Public Library, the New York Public Library, and the Baltimore Museum of Art. This book passed to his son-in-law Lynde Selden whose two bookplates are also found in two of the three volumes.

Title: 1915 Motorcycle Archive Demonstrates Effort Necessary To Transport Motorcycle Through Customs
Author: (MOTORCYCLES)
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: (MOTORCYCLES). This archive belonged to R.C. Sahlin, who in 1915 purchased a Canadian motorcycle and had it imported into the United States. The archive consists of three documents: A)Document. 4 x 8. November 15, 1915. Toronto. This document is a bank note for the Bank of Hamilton and its Queen & Spadina Branch, Toronto. The bank note provides On demand the sum of $202.50 To R.C. Sahlin Greenwich Conn U.S.A. This was most likely the money used by Sahlin to purchase the motorcycle and/or prepare for its passage to the United States. The note is stamped with the bank branchs official stamp and signed by WJ Porter. The Bank of Hamilton was established in 1872. Like the other Canadian-chartered banks, it issued its own paper money, and this bank issued notes from 1872 to 1922. B)Document. 8 x 10. November 30, 1915. Niagara Falls, NY. This document is from C.J. Tower Custom House Broker and is a letter from CJ Tower to RC Sahlin Greenwich Conn. The letter indicates that his firm has shipped 1 Crtd Motorcycle Car 94125 NYC valued at $203having been shipped from Toronto Ont by WCJ Porter. The letter indicates that a customs declaration is required for imports worth more than $100, which must be responded to for the bond that Tower provided to pay for passage to be cancelled. According to his grandsons obituary, Clarence Jerome Tower founded this customs house brokerage firm in 1913. Just two years later, it was already the customs agent for ten different railroad lines. The company was sold to Fed Ex in 1990, which owned it as of 2014. C)Document. 1 pg. 5 x 8. N.d. Greenwich, Connecticut. This document is the American fright bill for the shipping of the motorcycle. The document indicates that it was shipped by the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad Company (the document is on paper from that company), that the motorcycle was cosigned by W.J. Porter, and that the total cost of this journey was $54.82. There is also a stamp for Greenwich, Connecticut, indicating that this was the destination for the motorcycle and Sahlins hometown. All three documents are in good condition with some minor folds.
