    OK, SO I'VE RECENTLY BEEN WORKING BEHIND THE SCENE, GETTING SEVERAL HUNDRED MORE LOTS OF VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE COLLECTIBLES READY TO LIST.  WITH SO MANY FOLKS NOW FORCED TO STAY AT HOME, I'LL BE LISTING AS MANY AS I CAN, SO THAT I CAN (PERHAPS) PROVIDE AT LEAST SOMETHING OF A DISTRACTION, DURING THE MEANTIME.
    PLEASE NOTE:
    SINCE WE WORK FOR OURSELVES AND APART FROM OTHERS, WE ARE STILL FULLY WORKING (OVERTIME, ACTUALLY), AND
    I SHIP EVERY DAY (MONDAY - FRIDAY)
    AND OCCASIONALLY ON SATURDAY, AS WELL.
    OK, SO THIS PAIR CAME TO ME AS YOU SEE THEM (SAFELY TAPED INTO THIS "PHOTOS" PAGE, AND UNDER PLASTIC)).  I HAD PREVIOUSLY LISTED THESE WITHOUT "RISKING" TAKING THEM OUT OF THE PLASTIC SLEEVES, BUT THAT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO, AND I'M NOW MORE CONFIDENT OF MY SKILLS WITH ANCIENT PAPER, SO I'VE NOW REMOVED ONE OF THEM (AND DID TRY TO REMOVE THE OTHER ONE).
    THIS PAIR CAME TO ME FROM THE SAME COLLECTION AS THE OTHER TWO INDIAN TERRITORY PIECES THAT I LISTED THE OTHER WAY (BOTH OF WHICH WERE FROM McALESTER, I.T. (OKLA)).
    FIRST UP IS A FOLDED "LIFE HOROSCOPE, FROM THE ASTROLOGICAL STUDIO OF PROF HARRIS EDISON - BINGHAMTON, N.Y. USA."  IT HAS YELLOWED QUITE A BIT, PLUS IT DOES HAVE SOME WATER / MOISTURE STAINS ON SOME OF ITS BORDERS (PLUS SOME TATTERING ON MOST OF THE PAPER'S EDGES).
    NOW THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE IT AND STUDY IT, IT CONSIST OF 5 PAGES THAT ARE TYPED OUT, PLUS THE OUTER HOROSCOPE COVERING THAT YOU SEE IN THE FIRST PHOTO.  IT WAS WRITTEN TO A "CHARLES F. SUMMER," WHO WAS BORN ON JANUARY 23, 1864, DURING THE US CIVIL WAR.  THIS LETTER IS DATED NOVEMBER 27, 1906 AND THE COVER INCLUDES A 1907 HOROSCOPE.
    SO...
    I HAVE ZERO EXPERIENCE WITH HOROSCOPES, BUT I GUESS THIS ONE WOULD BE CALLED SOMETHING LIKE A PERSONAL READING???  IT MENTIONS THAT IT IS A LIFE HOROSCOPE, AND IT PREDICTS THAT HE WOULD LIVE TO BE 78 YEARS OLD.  I'VE NOT FULLY READ IT ALL, BUT HAVE JUST GLANCED OVER SOME OF THE DETAILS.  I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IS "BOILERPLATE," SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT ON THIS.
    CONSIDERING THE AGE ON THE COVER AND PAGES, BOTH ARE SURPRISINGLY IN GOOD CONDITION, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE MOISTURE STAINS ON THE COVER.
    NEXT UP IS THE ONE THAT WAS TOO FRAGILE TO REMOVE IS STILL SHOWN UNDER PLASTIC.  IT READS:  "WIGWAM CLIPPER," MARKED "Vol. V, No 2, Published by THE GREAT AMERICAN HERB COMPANY, WASHINGTON, D.C. WINTER, 1904" (CAPS AND LOWER CASES, AS I TYPED OUT).
    AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE LAST TWO PHOTOS, WHEN I TRIED (CAREFULLY) TO LIFT THE PAPER OFF OF THE PHOTO PAGE, TWO SMALL PIECES BROKE OFF.  SO... I CAREFULLY RE-PLACED IT AND HAVE LEFT IT AS ORIGINALLY FOUND.
    THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION
    .  PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.  ENJOY!
    SHIPPING WILL BE
    .50 INSURED USPS FIRST CLASS
    , AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING
    .
    I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS.  IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
    THANKS FOR LOOKING!
