<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yourturntoloveit, post: 138238, member: 57&quot;]Well I finally have a couple of items and even if not worthy of being listed here as &quot;antiques&quot; they may still be of interest to at least one other person.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The <b><u>second</u> </b>one listed is my real prize especially because it was found in a small bedroom in/under a pile of what appeared to be bits and pieces of various toys and a few less-than-pristine children&#039;s books from the 1960s to 1970s.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Medium-size paperback booklet.&nbsp; 24 numbered pages.&nbsp; <u>Atoms in Agriculture (Application of Nuclear Science to Agriculture)</u> by Thomas S. Osborne (U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Division of Technical Information), (1962).&nbsp; (DH likes this one!)</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; Hardcover book <u>How to Play Golf</u> by Harry Vardon, 187 numbered pages with 48 full-page illustrations (photographs), Tenth Edition (February 1917), Methuen and Co. Ltd., 36 Essex Street W.C., London.&nbsp; It is in great shape, tight binding, no pencil or other markings inside (<b>please see</b> my later comment re price written in pencil), only (other) fault is a slight fading of the spine.&nbsp;&nbsp; (DH loves this one!).</p><p><br /></p><p><u><b>Total</b></u> money outlay by me <u>for both</u> . . . . . . $2.50.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; This was at an estate sale run by &quot;professionals&quot; who were being paid to run the sale. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
