We have acquired a glass slide used to make the bookplate (a marking placed
inside a book to denote ownership) of Earle L. Ovington. The design includes
a plane and scientific instruments and is very attractive. As far as we
know, this is a one-of-a-kind item. Pictures and a price quote are available
upon request. Please address your questions to: info@bossbooks.com

I am seeking a way to find out how much a menu from the banquet for
Charles Lindbergh after his flight from New York to Paris is worth. The date on the menu is June 14,1927 and held at the Hotel Commodore, New York. I also have letters and stamps. Most of them are Tin-Can mail and pre-WW1. I'm not sure what they are. Jeffrey Prosser" kng4ada@bellsouth.net.
