DON'T MISS THIS ONE-TIME  EXTRA LOW PRICE! AND DON'T SKIP READING THE DESCRIPTION BELOW OF OUR NEXT WCE BOOK.
Our next book, the third we have written about our favorite world's fair (the first, in hardcover and limited edition in 1993 for the fair's centennial, and the second, a comprehensive history of the Midway Plaisance, in 2017); scheduled for publication late this year, the third book will be the first of the three written specifically for collectors. This COLUMBIAN RARITIES volume from the World's Columbian Journal and The History Bank will include substantial information on Columbian rarities and never previously listed TICKETS and MEDALS/TOKENS, as well as other items. We are heavily in the research and writing for the book now and will continue to include updates and ordering information later in the year.
This new book will also include very detailed information--photos, listings, prices realized--from the vast John Kennel Collection of Columbiana we have been privileged to be cataloging and selling since the Spring of 2019. The collection of the late collector included an estimated 5,000+ items and as of right now we still have more than 1,000 items yet to photograph and offer for sale.
This book will offer dramatically more information than any of the other hobby guides published thus far. This includes the early 1960s Nathan Eglit catalog of Columbian medals, the 1980 booklet/cataog of tickets (Doolin) listing tickets (published in 1980) and the Hibler & Kappen So-Called Dollar book. While the book was issued in a revised edition in 2008, it contained no new listings from the 100 Columbian pieces included in the original 1963(!) edition.
You can contact The History Bank for more information on the forthcoming book and follow our listings on ebay over the coming months in which we will offer updates on the book. We also will include valuable text on Columbian collectibles and the fair's history in our ongoing blog, The World's Columbian Journal, which is strictly a site for historical information and
not sales
of collectibles.
