About the book >.>.> From the life-like stories played out on Winchester calendars to the extrava- gance and variety of Winchester's five- panel window displays to the oddity of items like salesmen's sample boards and Winchester medals, Winchester Rarities highlights items from a bygone era, when a major manufacturer spread its influence into nearly every aspect of American life. But not even a giant of a corporation like Winchester was safe from the effects of the Great Depression. Following those lean times, the wide array of Winchester items was whittled to only a fraction of what was once offered, and the advertising material, counter pads, calendars and artwork were moved to the back rooms, attics and basements of America. Now, years later, these items are once again being displayed; this time as val- ued collectibles that remind us of a company that once was bigger than many of us realize and an era that has slipped away.

Zustand: Very Good. Most items will be dispatched the same or the next working day. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
