Wigwam Theatre. Meyer Bros. Proprietors. Monday March 11 1889. Read Reflect and Remember! An Extraordinary Array of Talent! caption title

18891212San Francisco: Theatrical Publishing Co 1889. Very good. Broadside 17 x 6 inches. Previously folded. Small closed tear at top edge. Even tanning. An attractive broadside advertisement for entertainments at a downtown San Francisco theater in 1889. The Wigwam Theater was built in 1884 on the corner of Stockton and Geary Streets as a headquarters and event space for the presidential campaign of the Blaine and Logan Republican ticket. After Blaine lost the election to Grover Cleveland the Republican party leased the brick and sheet iron building to an Austrian immigrant named Gustav Walter who operated it first as a beer hall and then turned it into a venue for variety and vaudeville acts in the late 1880s. The present broadside promotes a slate of acts to be performed on March 11 1889 that range from vaudevillians and sketch comedians to acrobats and prestidigitators. With three lively woodcuts of actors and printed in a variety of types. We locate a portfolio of promotional material for the Wigwam at the Bancroft Library but no other records.

From the Estate of Robert Bobby Palazzo Westlake Village CaliforniaABAA

WESTERN TRADE TOKEN COLLECTION WITH ADDITIONAL EXONUMIA. . . . Good for a loaf of bread a game of pool half-pint of cream or a roll in the hay

1900009672Collection of forty-eight western tokens plus other exonumia composed mostly of merchant "good for" tokens several Pony Express commemorative 'so-called-dollars' a tool-check and a 'dog house' license. These were issued at various locales mostly in Nevada with a couple from California. The tokens were identified by Palazzo John Schilling or Holabird Auctions. Palazzo's old and badly worn cardboard mounts have been replaced with new Lighthouse coin 'flips' and the original information has been transferred. Mixed condition; some near mint and others well-worn as is common with many tokens. One of the images at the link displays a list of all the tokens which will also be provided in hard copy. Trade tokens were a form of unofficial 'minor coinage' made from base metals such as brass copper nickel or aluminum and usually cast as circular disks but occasionally as octagons triangles or in scalloped shapes. They seldom if ever had a value of more than a dollar. Trade tokens sometimes referred to as "Good Fors" because they were usually stamped "Good for" followed by a product service or monetary value first appeared in the United States during the late 1700s and it's been suggested that George Washington used a trade token to attend Bill Rickett's Philadelphia Circus in 1793. Often like some of the tokens in this lot they were issued to be exchanged for a specific product or service such as a loaf of bread game of pool meal hotel room or brothel visit. In the western states company stores and independent businesses made frequent use of tokens in mining towns and camps where coinage was often scarce. As an added incentive for businesses they could only be redeemed at the place of issue and with little if any law enforcement they were a safe substitute for gold and silver. Also if the tokens were never redeemed business owners pocketed a little extra profit. The towns and cities represented in this collection include Aztec Blair Carson City Crystal Duckwater East Ely Elko Fairview Goldfield Los Angeles McGill Mound Hill Reno Tonopah Tuscarora and Winnemucca. Today some of these places are ghost towns. The lot includes tokens distributed by the American Borax Company general stores drug stores tobacco stores billiard parlors hotels and saloon/brothels. Four of the most interesting tokens in this lot are Two different tokens from Goldfield Nevada's most famous saloon The Northern. One of these tokens was originally bimetallic with an aluminum ring around a copper or brass disc. The disc is missing on this token just as it is on almost all the others that have survived. Tex Rickard and his silent partners Wyatt and Virgil Earp opened The Northern in 1905 and Wyatt briefly managed the establishment during its first year of operation. In time Rickard became a very successful fight promoter; he promoted the championship fight between James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson. He later used his fortune to build the third iteration of Madison Square Garden--which lasted from 1925 to 1968. During his Garden's second year of operation Rickard formed a professional hockey team to play there Tex's Rangers known today as the New York Rangers. A 12Â½ cent token for the Red Top Bar one of Goldfield's notorious brothels. Two 5-cent tokens from the Jeffries & Kipper Billiard Parlor and Gentlemen's CafÃ© in Los Angeles which the two men opened in partnership in 1907. Kipper was a frustrated boxer who eventually became the manager of the Los Angeles Coliseum. Jeffries was the legendary Heavy Weight Champion James J. Jeffries who was lured back into the ring for a $1 million payday in today's dollars six years and an additional 110 pounds after he retired as the "Great White Hope" to fight the then-current champion Jack Johnson. For additional information about trade tokens see Rulau's Standard Catalog of United States Trade Tokens 1700 to 1900 Ascarza's "Mine Tales: Trade tokens were used widely but are rare today" in the 9 Dec 2013 issue of the Arizona Daily Star and "John Bill Ricketts and the Ricketts Circus" at Circuses and Sideshows online. A fascinating physical record of commerce in the boomtowns of the American West. Recent auction results found at Worthpoint suggest the total value of this lot to be just under $1600. books

Wells Fargo & Co.'s Express. 1882 Directory of Chinese Business Houses

1882319779San Francisco: Britton a& Rey 1882. 146pp. text in English and Chinese. Original half green cloth and pictorial orange paper boards with a lithographic vignette of a dragon and harbor. Boards rubbed paper discolored and scraped along outer edge of front board discolored along outer edge of rear board. Cloth torn at lower spine hinges cracked but holding by cloth. Several instances of Wells Fargo & Co.'s Express red-ink stamp with text in English and Chinese characters. Old tideline along outer edge of many leaves. Very good. 146pp. text in English and Chinese. Rare Directory of Chinese Businesses in the West Published in the Year of the Exclusion Act. The third and last in a series of directories of Chinese businesses published by Wells Fargo this edition issued in the year of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 which prohibited Chinese laborers from entering the United States. This edition is more than half again as long as the 1878 edition which has only 86pp. The first edition of 1873 is only nine pages in length. Attractively printed by the firm of Britton & Rey the leading lithographers in San Francisco the text is in English and Chinese characters and lists hundreds of Chinese-owned businesses in San Francisco Oakland Sacramento San Jose Stockton Marysville and Los Angeles many of those businesses on a street called "Negro Alley"; as well as Portland Oregon; Virginia City Nevada; Victoria British Columbia; and Denver. The directory not only demonstrates the expansive reach of Chinese communities in the West but also how their businesses were tied to the ever-expanding Wells Fargo Company. Several pages in this copy are stamped with a bilingual logotype: "Ship Money and Goods by Wells Fargo & Co's Express." The name and address of each merchant is given and in many cases the nature of the business is listed as well. San Francisco businesses take up more than half the text but it is notable to see the wide variety of business ventures undertaken by Chinese in the American West. Among these are laundries merchants druggists cigar factories "slipper" and shoe factories ladies' underwear tailors restaurants doctors Chinese and Japanese imports boarding houses barbers morticians butchers general merchandise jewelers and more. Among the more interesting businesses are employment offices a clam dealer pawn broker junk dealers and opium dealers. The smaller and more remote towns - such as Marysville Portland and Virginia City do not give business types as often and Chinese consulates and missions are also listed. "Very rare" - Quebedeaux who notes two copies in private collections one of which may be the present copy formerly in the McClatchy family collection and apparently formerly owned by Western historian and novelist Stuart Lake. OCLC locates five copies at the California Historical Society the Autry Museum the Bancroft Library the Library of Congress and the Huntington Library.

Tilton Theodore. Victoria California Claflin WoodhullABAA

Victoria C. Woodhull. A Biographical Sketch.

1871125391New York: Published at the Office of The Golden Age 1871. First edition of Tilton's biography of American suffragette Victoria Woodhull published shortly before she became the first woman to campaign for President of the United States. 12 mo original wrappers stitched as issued publisher's advertisement at rear. In very good condition. Housed in a custom cloth chemise and half morocco slipcase. Victoria Woodhull first made her reputation as a supporter of free love by which she meant the freedom to marry divorce and bear children without social restriction or government interference and as one of the only female newspaper publishers Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly with her sister Tennessee Claflin. She soon became an activist for women's rights and labor reforms and in a pivotal 1871 speech argued that the 14th and 15th amendments already covered women's suffrage. She decided to run for president in 1872 backed by the Equal Rights Party whose convention nominated Frederick Douglass for Vice President although he did not participate in the convention or acknowledge the nomination. While she obviously lost--and indeed could not have won constitutionally due to her age--Woodhull became one of the most powerful women's rights advocates of her day. This contemporary biography was written by Theodore Tilton a close friend of many within the movement. In 1872 Tilton confided in Elizabeth Cady Stanton that his wife was having an affair with Henry Ward Beecher. Tilton sued Beecher for alienation of affection and a salacious trial commenced. Woodhull abandoned her friendship to splash the scandal across the pages of Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly. Woodhull was arrested for obscenity and then acquitted--events that gave rise to the Comstock Laws of 1873 arguably the nation's most powerful and successful attempt at censorship. Woodhull emerged from the debacle with fewer friends--Susan B. Anthony for example disagreed with her behavior entirely--but nevertheless managed to retain her reputation as a leading supporter of women's rights and as an early American female politician.
