We have a great new “Pick of the Week” for board game collectors. It’s a 1936 copy of the Transogram game “Big Business”. This game was released in 1936 so this is one of the early copies. It is complete; all pieces and instructions are accounted for. Toy collectors know how hard it can be to find early games in their entirety. It can take years of searching to find a missing piece.
One hundred years ago the third Tarzan book by Edgar Rice Burroughs was first published as a novel. It was originally released as a serial in 1914. This copy is a first edition in very good condition. Sadly it has no dust jacket. The amazing success of the Tarzan books and other great E. R. Burroughs works insure the lasting value of first editions such as this.
For our “Pick” this week I would like to highlight two wonderful early lamp bases that I have recently put out for sale. The smaller and earlier of the two is cut pressed glass with a brass stem and marble base. The larger lamp has a lovely milk glass base. This is a great opportunity for a collector with some extra lamp burners to get a early lamp at a reasonable price.
