#ZZStock092 - 1842 Receipt for Shares of Stock in The New York Harlem Railroad Company

Click the picture to see a large version of the entire image in detail. Vintage 7 1/2" wide receipt says "Shares of the Capital Stock of the New-York and Harlem Rail-Road Company." The fact that these survived is incredible. They are nearly 180 years old! Very nice graphics. All are dated 1842, though we don't have many. The New York and Harlem Railroad was one of the very first railroads in the United States and these are very early (the opening took place in stages between 1832 and 1852). When it first opened, there were horses pulling railroad carriages. These are used, and show paper aging and some very minor folds or dings, but are in way above average condition for their age.

##MUSICGD2029 - Grateful Dead Car Window Tour Sticker/Decal - Demon Fine-Line

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 4 7/8" tall Grateful Dead sticker/decal. This one features an angry looking horned demon. Marked "Copyright 1989 Fine-Line Products, Inc.". This type sticks on the outside of glass or a mirror or your pocket. They are in mint condition and can still be used.

These Grateful Dead stickers/decals are old tour merchandise. I found them wrapped in plastic in boxes in master cases. They came from a distributor who sold them to tour vendors. The condition is pristine and they still will work as a car decal or window/mirror sticker. We found them packed away in storage boxes dated 1992 (many are older than that) and 1995 (year Jerry Garcia died). They are high quality artist renderings of Grateful Dead themes. Back in the day, the Dead did not monitor copyrights and that sort of thing, and in fact, at one point encouraged artists to do designs. The LA times explained it well “The Grateful Dead was famously lax in enforcing it’s intellectual property rights and trademarks, allowing fans to create their own designs using the band’s expansive iconography”. Since there was no serious monitoring or much concern back then, a lot of up and coming artists got involved in designing them. This is how some of them got their starts. Some of the sticker artists who designed these stickers went on to produce official licensed works for the Grateful Dead and other famous groups. These stickers include some by now famous designers including David Opie, and others. These 1995 and older stickers are very hard to find anymore.

#TMSpirits070 - Group of 12 Cinci Cream Lager Beer Menu Signs

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. You get 12 for $3 (that's 25¢ each). Vintage 11" tall thin cardboard Cinci Cream Lager Beer advertising menu sheet. They were given to restaurants to list their daily specials or other items on and tack on the wall. Back around 1880, Cincinnati was the beer capital of the world. More beer was sold from Cincinnati breweries than anywhere in the world, and it was widely claimed to be the best in the world. In 1882, a company in Canada started making what they called Cincinnati Cream beer to capitalize on the phenomena. They supposedly copied the beer recipe from a Cincinnati company whose name they would not divulge. Apparently it worked as they were in business for a long long time. Around the 1970s, the beer was imported back in the U.S. because of it's popularity in Canada. These are from that time period. Excellent unused condition from the distributor warehouse in Baltimore, MD.
