1937218484東京. Tokyo.: 名誉蔵. Meiyokura. Showa 12 1937-1939. Sixteen delightful small porcelain spinning tops measuring 2.0 x 1.7cm in size each accompanied by ten handsome colour printed product labels heightened in gilt with soft purple cord ties 8.3 x 6cm. An intriguing collection of sake advertising ephemera in very good condition. These sake promotional giveaways and accompanying die-cut cards in the shape of the Order of the Golden Kite are advertisements associated with Meiyo-gura a sake brand sold in Nihonbashi Tokyo. <br> <br>The advertisement describes a koma spinning top attached beneath the bottle top which could also serve as a small entertainment item. Each koma was hexagonal and could be used as a dice or a novelty accessory for drinking games. The value printed on the koma could be redeemed if customers presented both the koma and the accompanying medal card. <br> <br>These redemption promotions were available between 1937 and 1939. However in June 1941 the rationing of sake was introduced firmly ending such promotional schemes. The product labels which were finely printed as these are also informed customers about how to claim these discounts further enhancing the appeal of the product during its promotional period. <br> <br>A curious example of the everyday cultural impacts of Japanese militarism - the Order of the Golden Kite was an award exclusively for military service and was not available to the civilian public. Over the course of the Second Sino-Japanese and Pacific Wars the order would be awarded over 140000 times dwarfing all previous conflicts and reflecting the frenetic nature of Japan's total mobilisation. . 名誉蔵.

191076053Chicago: De Laurence Scott & Co. 1910. First edition of this ridiculous pirated edition. Octavo. 250 pp. plus frontispiece photographic illustration of Benares and 4 full page plates. Publisher's maroon cloth with an abundance of gilt lettering to the spine and front. Bookseller's receipt laid into font of book which has caused some offsetting to the blanks. An excellent copy.This is quite simply a garishly re-titled edition of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Mystery of Cloomber" first published in 1888. Conan Doyle's fascination with Spiritualism is very well known. He once wrote in the Evening Standard in 1920- ""There are only two vital propositions in Spiritualism. These are that personality survives death without a change; the other that under proper physical conditions communication is still possible." But what is remarkable here is de Laurence's hijacking of the title with almost no credit given to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. On the title page all that is given is the miserly attribution to "A.C.D." On the front cover in bright and bold gilt we read "Editorship of Dr. L W. deLaurence" It is not clear how it is possible but deLaurence even copyrighted it 1910. His publishing company De Laurence Scott & Co. and spiritual supply mail order house was located in Chicago Illinois. De Laurence was a pioneer in the business of supplying magical and occult goods by mail order and his distribution of public domain books. His books were invariably printed on cheap paper and all bore signs of the occult. De Laurence Scott & Co had a reputation for pirating the books of other occultists. De Laurence also wrote his own works including The Master Key a personal development book. In addition he is believed to have co-written some books with his fellow Chicago resident the prolific New Thought and yoga author William Walker Atkinson. De Laurence, Scott & Co. hardcover

1964List3328Brooklyn New York 1964. Twenty-eight page scrapbook measuring 11 x 14 inches. Containing forty-one photographs measuring 5 x 7 inches and smaller and fifty-eight pieces of ephemera forty-three of which are filled-in entry slips from a contest. Cover with wear and large stain contents generally excellent; overall very good to excellent. The Carpetbaggers is a 1964 film directed by Edward Dmytryk based on the controversial 1961 novel of the same name which was banned in several US cities for its depictions of sexuality and violence.1 Offered here is a scrapbook documenting an unconventional marketing campaign for the film’s New York run at Loew’s Metropolitan Theatre in Downtown Brooklyn. The theater’s conventional marketing tactics included contests flyering spraypainting sidewalks and distributing promotional cards for stores. Less conventional ones included employees reading a gigantic “oversized book†on the subway the “Subway ballyhoo†erecting eight large fake telephone booths and carrying a suitcase reading “I’M ON MY WAY TO SEE THE CARPETBAGGERS AT LOEW’S METROPOLITAN†the “Walking ballyhooâ€. The photograph of this last tactic shows a man who at least resembles Adlai Stevenson looking at the suitcase as he walks by; the caption reads: “Let’s start off with a question. . . . IS THERE ANY REASON WHY ADLAI STEVENSON OUR AMBASSADOR TO THE U N. . . . . SHOULD NOT BE ADVISED THAT THE ‘CARPETBAGGERS’ WERE AT THE LOEW’S METROPOLITAN THEATRE.†All thirty-seven of the various tactics are listed in a caption at the end of the scrapbook.<br /> <br /> The scrapbook also acts as a document of Downtown Brooklyn in 1964 especially its then-bustling shopping area on Fulton Street. Stores include Woolworth’s E.J. Korvette’s Bond’s Bunnie Towne and more. Though mainly department store interiors it also shows in several shots the subway entrances and cars street scenes smaller shops and restaurants and the exterior and lobby of Loew’s Metropolitan. Opened in 1918 the theatre closed in 1996 and re-opened in 2002 as a church.<br /> The Carpetbaggers received mixed reviews and its share of controversy particularly for a nude scene which had to be cut from the US release. In response to the controversy actress Carroll Baker who appears in the nude scene told the New York Times that her “children have seen things on the benches of Central Park that have never been shown in movies.â€2<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of film and film marketing and of the Downtown Brooklyn neighborhood.<br /> <br /> 1 Dawn B.
