Boston Rathskeller Restaurant Menu “The Rat” 1940s w- Luncheon Menu insert for August 9th
Price range: $274.00 through $284.00
Vintage menu from the famous Rathskeller of Boston’s Kenmore Square (which was torn down 1997). Includes a Luncheon insert for the date of August 9th (year not specified, but I am surmising that this is from the 1940s as the box of ephemera from which it came had all items that dated to the Forties).
The Rathskeller (aka The Rat) became a live music venue in 1974 and ran until 1997. For those three decades, The Rat was considered one of Boston’s premier music venues featuring rock, soul, punk, jazz and pop artists, including:
Aerosmith
Anry Samoans
B-52s
Bad Brains
Blondie
The Cars
Dead Kennedys
English Beat
Hole
The Jam
Joan Jett
Metallica
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Patti Smith
The Pixies
The Police
The Ramones
R.E.M.
Talking Heads
Thin Lizzy
Tom Petty
U2
Cool time capsule, rare find!

“The Iron Horse” 1924 Edwin Hill Cloth wrapped hardcover in dust wrapper
$68.00
This is a "very good-" antique cloth wrapped hardcover with black-and-white illustrated glossy frontispiece and 3 more plates internally, published by Grosset & Dunlap circa 1924.
Solid binding, original owner name (Florence M. Tibbits) neatly quilled onto front free end-paper, otherwise no writing or marks aside, hinges and gutters crisp, intact. Rear cover spine joint has loss in the depression, see images.
No torn, folded or loose pages. Board corners are crisp, back upper has a few tiny chips in the cloth; cloth on tips barely worn, if at all. Spine head and tail bumped, but cloth is not frayed. All black and white illustrations are present. Text block edges mildly tanned, no spotting, block closes flat and square. Cloth wrapping color fairly uniform front, back and spine, no significant tanning or sunning.
Matching original dust wrapper has large losses at the spine head and across to upper back cover and tail. Wear at the flap folds and corners. Relatively uniform color all around, outer surfaces tanned, inner flap folds brighter. Not pristine, but front cover is still quite nice with lush, colorful, dramatic illustrations. Now protected in a removable archival sleeve.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Wikipedia says this about the film the images are from:
The Iron Horse is a 1924 American silent Western film directed by John Ford and produced by Fox Film. It was a major milestone in Ford's career, and his lifelong connection to the western film genre. It was Ford's first major film, in part because the hastily planned production went over budget, as Fox was making a hurried response to the success of another studio's western. In 2011, this film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Will make for a great gift for that special collector or perhaps an upgrade for your collection!

The Brothers Hildebrandt 1978 Signed by both Numbered limited edition gallery exhibition program
$642.00
Limited edition fantasy art book "The Brothers Hildebrandt - A Book About the Artists", published in 1978 for the July 9, 1978 Maryland Funnybook Festival.
The Brothers are well regarded fantasy and science fiction illustrators, having completed commissions for such works as:
>> One of the Original Star Wars "one-sheets" for the original film release
>> The Sword of Shannara
>> The Lord of the Rings
>> The original Clash of the Titans
>> The Brothers also worked with Stan Lee and created art for Marvel Comics
>> many, many other significant works...
The book is #61 of only 100 that were signed by both brothers - I have found no others available anywhere! (Tim died in June of 2006).
This large soft cover book is in very good plus or better condition, with the staples and center page solid.
The glossy covers retain most of their original sheen, with just perhaps the slightest bit of creasing in a few places. There are a few impressions in the surface here or there, where something got pressed against the cover, but not significant, really only visible when held up to the light in the right angle. No tears, chips or losses to the covers.
The interior is free of writing or marks - aside from the Brothers' signatures on the title page - and none of the pages are torn or creased or folded.
This title is 48 pages plus the covers and includes many black and white representations of their work along with color, including:
>> Smaug (centerfold)
>> The Star Wars Cantina band
>> Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi in a light saver duel
>> Concept art for Barbarella
>> The Siege of Minas Tirith
>> and many more...
THIS AMAZING FANTASY "TIME CAPSULE" WILL SURELY MAKE A MOST UNIQUE GIFT OR ADDITION TO YOUR PERSONAL LIBRARY!!
