1920 N.A.W.T. Niagara Falls. Here With Bells On. Schutz Bros. Pinback
New York: Schutz Bros. Producer 1920. Unbound. Very Good. Approximately 1 ¾ inches in diameter. Red white and navy blue on the face. Stickpin style back almost lethal in length!. Despite many searches and inquiries to libraries and historical societies we could not determine what N.A.W.T. stood for. Given that this pinback was issued with the compliments of Schutz Brothers located at 152 Chambers in New York NY it is possible this was issued for a gathering of wood turners as Schutz manufactured turned and locked corner boxes. Handwriting on the reverse indicates this may have been given out on June 14 1920. VERY GOOD condition. Minor toning and rubbing to the face. Minor rusting to the reverse.

Adlai Stevenson Fundraising Dinner April 25th 1956 at the Waldorf Archive of Correspondence and planning
No Place: No publisher 1956. Unbound. Good. No publisher or place. All 1956. Approximately 30-40 pieces. Most are duplicate typed sheets as well as some blank fundraising forms and envelopes and a lengthy guest list including number of tickets needed. These papers relate to a campaign fundraising dinner Adlai Stevenson and his campaign held on April 25th 1956 at the Waldorf. This includes duplicates of letters of invitations addressed to a variety of people; confidential campaign memos; blank fundraising forms; and a lengthy guest list that includes Eleanor Roosevelt among others. These are from an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. GOOD condition. All housed in a manila folder. Some are stapled many bear creases and are toned with some pencil or pen notes scattered throughout. No publisher unknown

Archive of typed Letters Correspondence and Business Papers relating to An American Insurance Company's expansion in Pakistan circa 1954-1960
No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. With signature of an alleged double agent. Well over 100 pieces. Most pieces are typed copies of originals although many bear signatures from the correspondents or authors. The earliest pieces document the US insurance company's considerations in expanding into Pakistan including discussing what the impact of Islam may have on the government. Later documents address expenses and investments as well as expansion within Pakistan. Of note is at least one document bearing the signature of a one time double agent for the US and Russia. While the name is withheld here for privacy the person originally served in the OSS during World War II. While serving as one of the higher ranking OSS agents they also transmitted secret information to Russia including allegedly mention of the Manhattan Project. In the 1950s they were accused of being a double agent and while strongly suspected they were not officially charged and they themselves denied accusations. However in the 1980s secret Russian documents were decoded in which code names for double agents were given and this person was found to be among those names. They subsequently worked for this company; thus their signature appears on a document or two. From the archive of an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. All in GOOD to VERY GOOD condition with varying degrees of creasing wrinkling minor soiling and staining. Some with pencil or pen annotations by the previous owner. No publisher unknown

Collection of 15 invitations to US State dinners wedding invitations and other similar events
No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. Collection of 15 invitations to US State dinners wedding invitations and other similar events. All various sizes and pagination. Some include dinner menus seating information. All from the same private collection from an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The previous owner saved these items for an apparent planned scrapbook mounting most on paper with either glue or staples. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. NB: we are starting the process of cataloguing four boxes of material from this individual both personal and business correspondence. More information on the collection available on request. Included in this lot: invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Takeo Fukuda Japanese Minister of Finance; invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Ferdinand Marcos President of the Philippines; invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Makato Usami Governor of the Bank of Japan; Several items relating to a 1967 state dinner with the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany including the invitation from President Johnson; a wedding announcement and invitation to the reception of the marriage of Hope Aldrich daughter of John D.
