19390001440DENVER COLORADO CO. Very Good. 1939. On offer is a sensational scrapbook and homage to magic and magicians in pre-World War II America. Jack Fleming of Denver Colorado beginning as early as 1939 through 1947 collects ephemera broadsides business cards photographs and clippings and much much more nearly filling a lovely large folio sized scrapbook. Jack was a teenage magician using his real name and several stage names including PEAWADI THE MAGICIAN. Items include letters from local organizations boys and girls clubs school events etc. thanking him for performing local news articles about his performances and much more regarding his own entertaining. The first page of the scrapbook has a pamphlet program of "The Colorado Society of Magicians" promoting its "First Annual Houdini Memorial Program". The program is dated 1943. It is a single fold 4 panel program. The inside has a page filled with portraits of 10 Colorado Society Magicians and 5 "Florence Kesslers Dancers". Much of the scrapbook is an homage to Houdini whom he obviously idolized but also other huge names like Scarne who trained GIs how to avoid card sharks and dice cheats. The scrapbook also contains a very rare broadsheet of The Welles Mercury Wonder Show "ORSON WELLES THE MAGNIFICENT - The Mercury Wonder Show for Service Men" which was carefully tipped in at its upper corners but otherwise the broadsheet is loose. The broadsheet is in very good condition and has a shallow vertical crease across its entire length probably folded at one point and it has several horizontal creases from where it is folded to lay flat and safely in the scrapbook. There are no chips or tears to the broadsheet. A copy of this broadsheet was sold at a 2002 Swann Galleries Auction Sale Number 1949 - Lot 241 as part of the MAGIC - THE MANNY WELTMAN HOUDINI COLLECTION.

194533388America Europe 1945. Archive. Very good. Manuscript Archive. 2 three ring black binders with 41 letters and misc. ephemera. Letters were addressed to family and in Chester Vermont mainly to his brother Ray and his Aunt Florence. The letters are sorted into three phases: prewar U.S. training camps and from places in Europe. 2 letters were written by Private Lawrence before he enlisted in the Army circa 1942. <br /> <br /> 20 letters were written from training camps in the United States 1943-44. 12 letters were written by Lawrence somewhere in France Belgium and Germany from June 1944 to January 1945. The remaining 7 letters were written by family members before and after Private Lawrence was killed in action December 1944 - February 1945. These letters were returned to his family with the word "deceased" written or stamped on the envelopes. The archive also consists of 8 envelopes not matching the dated letters two change of address postcards 5 pieces of foreign money and misc. news clippings relating to the Allied Forces actions late in the War. One non-letter item included in the archive is a hand drawn December 25th 1944 Christmas greeting presumably drawn by Lawrence. In these letters Charles Lawrence is often homesick inquires about things in Vermont and how he is getting along in the Army. Many of his letters begin with a variation of "I am still in the land of the living." The handwriting is legible for the most part and the condition of the archive is very good. The first ring binder of letters encompasses Private Charles Lawrence's pre War draft and his training in various U.S. camps. Training camp letters were written on nice Army letterhead paper from places such as Fort Devin Massachusetts; Fort McClellan Alabama and the U.S. Naval Construction Training Center Camp Peary Williamsburg Virginia. While training in the States Private Lawrence yearned to return home before he was shipped off to Europe. "If I get back to the States after I leave you can bet I wont stay in this army if I can help it." <br /> <br /> The second ring binder of letters begins with a letter dated June 1 1944 from some unknown location. The letters from Europe are censored and some letters were sent by V-Mail. While in Europe Charles asks about events back home and provides some general not to specific training and battle information. In the second letter in this binder dated June 9th Private Lawrence writes "Dear Aunt Florence and All: How are you folks feeling today hope you are feeling fine and dandy. Well here I am in a new camp and I am sorry to say that I cannot tell you where I am or the name of the camp. The camp is very good good climate food and it has lot of mountains around it." He adds "We do not get any training at this camp because they don't want anyone to know how many troops we have here at this camp but we have to go on two 11 miles hike every week." <br /> <br /> The letter dated June 11th one week after D-Day June 4 1944 has Lawrence awaiting transport to occupied France. He writes "This is my 40th letter since I came back from my furlough.The P.X. here is open all day and every time there isn't anything to do we all head for it most of us are broke including me."<br /> <br /> As the War heats up after June one comment in Lawrence's letters stands out:<br /> <br /> "I have been lying in a fox hole for two weeks now the only time when we can get up and walk around is at night it gets kinda tired laying in the fox holes eating H rations you can't stick your head out of the hole in the day time because you will get your head blowed off if you do so we just lay there.Boy when I get home I wont fuss about anything so long as I live I have been through everything now and it isn't any fun either." <br /> <br /> As the battles in Europe intensified in the fall of 1944 it appears Private Lawrence had been in very dangerous situations. In his November 23 1944 letter he writes ".a lot has happened to me since I last wrote to you last I have been in a lot of tough spots tough enough to lose all of my personal belongings such as mail letters that I hadn't answered toilet articles my pack overcoat raincoat etc. I am going to write to Barb and see if she will buy me toilet articles. My stationary is all gone.Today is Thanksgiving and I hope you folks had a good meal I haven't seen any turkey for us yet."<br /> <br /> On December 21st 1944 Charles writes his brother Ray from "Somewhere in Germany". He tells his brother "I have been busy as ever for the last few days and it looks like I will be for quite some time." The last full letter in this archive written by Private Lawrence is dated January 4th 1945. He writes to Aunt Florence & all the gang. He tells Aunt Florence "Well here I am again I thought I would write you a letter as long as I have some extra time this isn't much for news this time because I wrote Glady's a little this morning and told her all the news that there was at hand but when this letter is finished you will at least know that I am still alive & kicking." He signs off this letter with this - "Got to go now but I will be back before to long hope everyone is okay.".<br /> <br /> Private Charles Lawrence died 16 days later in Europe on January 20 1945 at the age of nineteen. He was buried in the American Cemetery in Luxembourg.<br /> <br /> From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> The 5th Infantry Division Mechanized—nicknamed the "Red Diamond"1 the "Red Devils" or "die Roten Teufel"—was an infantry division of the United States Army that served in World War I World War II and the Vietnam War and with NATO and the U.S. Army III Corps. It was disbanded and deactivated on 24 November 1992.2<br /> <br /> During World War II after D-Day the 5th Infantry Division after two years of training landed in Normandy on Utah Beach 9 July 1944 over a month after the initial D-Day landings and four days later took up defensive positions in the vicinity of Caumont. Launching a successful attack at Vidouville 26 July the division drove on southeast of Saint-Lô attacked and captured Angers 9–10 August captured Chartres assisted by the 7th Armored Division 18 August9 pushed to Fontainebleau crossed the Seine at Montereau 24 August crossed the Marne and seized Reims 30 August and positions east of Verdun. The division then prepared for the assault on Metz 7 September.10 In mid-September a bridgehead was secured across the Moselle south of Metz at Dornot and Arnaville after two attempts. The first attempt at Dornot by the 11th Infantry Regiment failed. German-held Fort Driant played a role in repulsing this crossing. A second crossing by the 10th Infantry Regiment at Arnaville was successful.11 The division continued operations against Metz 16 September to 16 October 1944 withdrew then returned to the assault on 9 November. Metz finally fell 22 November. The division crossed the German border 4 December captured Lauterbach a suburb of Völklingen on the 5th and elements reached the west bank of the river Saar 6 December before the division moved to assembly areas.<br /> <br /> On 16 December the Germans launched their winter offensive in the Ardennes forest the Battle of the Bulge and on the 18th the 5th ID was thrown in against the southern flank of the Bulge helping to reduce it by the end of January 1945. In February and March the division drove across and northeast of the Sauer where it smashed through the Siegfried Line and later took part in the Allied invasion of Germany.<br /> <br /> The 2nd Infantry Regiment is an infantry regiment in the United States Army that has served for more than two hundred years. It was constituted on 12 April 1808 as the 6th Infantry and consolidated with 4 other regiments in 1815 to form the present unit.1. When the Battle of the Bulge began the 2nd Infantry Regiment moved to the battle zone in the area of Nideranven Luxembourg. In January 1945 the 2nd Infantry Regiment forced a crossing of the Sauer River and attacked into the Siegfried Line. The regiment then crossed the Rhine River near Oppenheim and secured the crossing for other Third Army units. The unit then spearheaded the attack into Czechoslovakia and was located near the town of Volary when the word came to cease all forward movement at 08:31 on 7 May 1945. unknown

On offer is a charming original manuscript relic of one American woman's war service in support of her country being a birthday memory book and autograph album kept by a beloved World War II parachute rigger named Jenny. There are about 40 entries and most were done in late May 1944 by many of her co-workers and a few from sailors and other enlisted men and officers she knew. Given the dates involved Jennie and her friends may very well have helped in the preparation for the D-Day invasion which occurred a couple weeks later. The home towns of the women show how America came together for the war since there are ladies from Milton Massachusetts Seattle Washington Dearborn Michigan Leon Iowa and Cuero Texas. There is also a photograph of a motorcyclist named Joe who has inscribed it to Jennie.

19450009118DIJON FRANCE FR. Very Good. 1945. On offer is the 1945 Come-Back Diary of the 602 Anti-Aircraft Artillery Gun Battalion detailing the few months of the battalions involvement in World War II. The document is an incredibly unique and interesting piece of World War II memorabilia. As well each and every newsletter in the collection was written or compiled by Sidney Bernstein one of the most famous music promoters of the 1960s and the man who booked the Beatles among many other in their first tour of America and helped jump start the British Invasion in the mid-1960s. The Come-Back Diary contains within it all the volumes of the 602nd AAA Gun Battalion daily newsletter published between April 1945 and October 1945. Bernstein and the 602 AAA Gun Battalion are stationed in Dijon France for the entirety of the newsletters production The first issue of the first volume April 11 1945 has the headline Your 3 Minutes Gazette Goes To Press!! and feature short paragraphs under the titles Feature Story Music Dept. Your Daily Comic Strip Gossip Column Editorial War News and Tonites Movie. Other sections featured throughout the seven month run include Afterthoughts Religious Services Notes from a G.I.s notebook Letter of the Day Sports Personalities Predictions Sinatra what is the strange phenomena called Frank Sinatra and many many more. As the issues progress the newsletter takes on a more conversational tone dealing less with the events coming up than with the general feelings and daily life in Dijon in the waning months of the War as well as including more personal thoughts from Bernstein himself. For example: Vol. 2 No. 13 June 26 1945. Brother is hot.He cusses and cusses and cusses - The Sun-baked tents - the dirty sons of the Rising Sun - the Sun itself.but then he remembers - an intensely cold winter night on guard in Germany - reports on the hot loop Nazi paratroopers dropping all around - his fingers almost froze to his M1 that long long night and how he prayed that hed see the sun once more.The guys stops cursing.peels off his OD shirt and strips to the waist leaves his tent for a slug of water.smiles at the sun.and goes to work on the Tuesday edition. In total the newspaper is filled with items and tidbits from back home in the U.S. entertainment and lifestyle information for the serviceman of the Six-Oh-Second. Bernstein is a very competent and very enjoyable writer throughout and does an exceptional job of conveying emotion wit and the experience of daily life as a soldier in the Dijon. Days of heightened emotion such as FDRs death Hitlers death VE day VJ day the opening of Bernsteins GI Nite Club and many others in the last year of the war are especially interesting. Bernstein is an incredibly adept and interesting writer and these days show off his talent especially well. The newsletters continue until September 24 1945. There is one later newsletter included in the collection from October 13th. This is on the first page of the compilation and does an excellent job of setting the scene of the post WW2 landscape as well as Bernsteins feelings of writing the newsletter during the war. It is one of the most interesting newsletters in the collection account for roughly 85 pages. Each page seemed to be set and printed by Sidney Bernstein himself. The pages are in good shape showing occasional rips and tears but very little other than that. Some pages have smudging of the ink but nothing to affect the legibility of the content. The cover is a simple brown paper. It seems the front cover used to say 602 AAA COMEBACK DIARY with a drawing of what looks to be the Statue of Liberty however the drawing and letters have faded almost completely and are very difficult to make out. There is no spine and the book is bound by thread. This would make an absolutely amazing document of World War II history as it presents a nuanced and comprehensive picture of the life of servicemen in Dijon as the War came to end. As well this would be great for anyone interested in the incredible life of Sid Bernstein before he helped change the world of music forever.
