Land Promotional Southern California Bulletin Vol 1 No 9 Boston May 1888
[Land Promotional] Southern California Bulletin Vol. 9 Boston, May 1888. Title: [Land Promotional] Southern California Bulletin Vol. Description: [Land Promotional] Southern California Bulletin Vol. 9 Boston, May 1888, Southern California Publishing Company, Boston, Los Angeles, San Diego. Alfred Mudge & Son, Printers, Boston. 9 x 11.5 inches, 14pp. String-bound booklet on cream paper. Splitting at spine but entire booklet is holding. Toning and chipping to edges. Previous fold with light splitting at fold. Two errant pen marks on front page. Curious 1888 land promotional circular for Southern California published and printed in Boston, with addition offices in Los Angeles and San Diego. Not found in OCLC or commerce despite at least nine issues published. Probably marketed to easterners in the heart of winter. Most of the articles either have no by-line or credit local newspapers. The lone exception is an article titled “The Flora of Southern California” by T. Van Dyke, author of “Millionaires of a Day: an Inside History of the Great Southern California “Boom” and “Upland Game Birds” plus “The City and County of San Diego: Illustrated and Containing Biographical Sketches of Prominent Men and Pioneers. My guess is Van Dyke was the publisher of this apparently short-lived land promotional. Subject: 19th Century Pamphlets & Ephemera, Advertising, Ephemera, Land Promotional, Western Americana. Stellar Books & Ephemera is an on-line antiquarian dealer offering a wide variety of unique, unusual and rare artifacts of American History ranging from letters, manuscripts, archives and diaries to 19th century photography and 20th century letterpress.

To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE November 24. California state highway 7 route marker. Up for sale today is this California state route 7 sign. Made to the exact standards as used between 1934 and 1940 along this historic highway. Highway 7 is nowadays a near-obsolete number, being recycled to serve as a border crossing route east of Calexico, but historically it was the longest road in the entire state. As signed in 1934, the road came in from Oregon in Modoc County, and ended in Long Beach, before the US route system was extended and route 7 was replaced by US-395 in 1935 to Brady Junction in the Sierras, and then US-6 south of there all the way to Sepulveda Junction, just north of Los Angeles. This version of route 7 ran underneath what is currently the busiest road in Los Angeles: interstate 405. The number was later reused, between 1964 and 1981, for the Long Beach Freeway. An original of these, complete with either the circle logo of the Auto Club of Southern California, or the diamond logo logo of the California State Auto Association, would cost many thousands of dollars if it ever came to the market. I’ve seen precisely one example of a 1934 style bear route 7 shield, and it is not going anywhere. This is a high quality, heavy steel sign. Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality. No cheap tin to be found here, with the wrong fonts, layouts, size, shape, or any other manner of embarrassing imperfection. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close! Please do see my other listings for quality California US and state route markers! Would you like a number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? I can of course make these signs with any route number of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Life doesn’t happen along the interstates. It’s against the law.
