Item Description
This is a pretty cool lot of antique Agricultural Almanacs from John Baer's Sons, Inc. of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. There are a total of 18 volumes issued between 1921 and 1940. Considering the fact that that are paper and all are over 70 years old, I think they're in pretty good shape. I know nothing about antique books or paper items really, but these are pretty neat. There are jokes inside and the calendar for each year is on the back cover. The graphics on the front cover are very detailed sketches of a farm scene. The backs also have advertisements under the calendar. The companies which appear on the back are mostly John Baer of Lancaster, PA, but there are also some companies from York, PA, on the back of a few of them. Morris Drug Company is one and B.H. Lau & Co. and York Rite Tool & Steel Co., Manufacturers are the others. The ad for Morris is for Syrup of Tar and Horhound Compound Cough Syrup. The ad for B.H. Lau & Co. is for Agency Blue Buckle Overalls and another just lists their products as Overalls, Shirts, Underwear, Pantaloons, Hosiery, Gloves, Small Wares, Table Oil Cloth and Straw Hats. The York Rite Tool & Steel ad is for the " Jiffy " which was apparently a knife sharpener which was made of tempered steel discs.
If you know anyone who was born in any of these years, one of these would make a really cool Christmas gift. To give someone an Almanac from the year of their birth might be a neat idea. These are old paper items, so there is some tearing and folds, etc., as you would expect from paper items this old. Thanks for looking.
