A FINE AND EARLY ARCHIVE OF SKATE PUNK FLYERS DOCUMENTING THE ROLE OF THE BAND JODY FOSTER'S ARMY JFA AND THEIR CONTEMPORARIES IN THE SKATE CULTURE IN THE EARLY 1980s. SEVERAL FLYERS ARE ICONIC AND ARE NOW UNFINDABLE IN FRESH MUSEUM QUALITY AS HERE HAVING BEEN STORED IN A FILING CABINET FOR EXACTLY FORTY YEARS TO WHICH IS ADDED A SMALL QUANTITY OF NEWSPRINT SKATEBOARD MAGS 1977-1980 AND RELATED EPHEMERA. Two cultural phenomena of the 1970s and 80s continue to exert a tremendous impact on the youth of twenty-first century: skateboarding particularly skate-punk and hip-hop both of which began as expressions of disaffected "outsiders" who were unwilling or unable to participate in mainstream America and did so in a completely DYI manner. Today both phenomena have been co-opted and commercialized worldwide particularly in terms of music linguistics fashion art and culture. We are able to offer a small but very interesting "time capsule" of the former. Concerning skate-punk band JFA: "With roots in the Arizona and Southern California skateboard scenes JFA was formed in 1981 nineteen days after the failed attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley Jr. an obsessed fan of Jodie Foster. The original lineup of vocalist Brian Brannon guitarist Don "Redondo" Pendleton bassist Michael Cornelius and drummer Mike 'Bam-Bam' Sversvold developed a faster more focused sound that combined the nascent hardcore of Black Flag and The Germs with the twangy guitar that defined The Ventures and Dick Dale. With lyrics and imagery steeped in the lifestyle JFA appealed to skaters who saw themselves taking surf culture to the streets." johnson rare books and archives from whom we acquired the present collection.

IN THIS INNOCUOUS 1974 SURFING NEWSPRINT TRADE MAGAZINE IS A VERY EARLY ADVERTISEMENT FOR BAHNE SKATEBOARDS TOGETHER WITH CADILLAC URETHANE WHEELS WHICH REVOLUTIONIZED SKATEBOARD TECHNOLOGY. Frank Nasworthy is notable in the history of skateboarding for introducing polyurethane wheel technology to the sport in the early 1970s. Due to the infancy of skateboarding at this time Nasworthy sold his wheels directly to surf shops along the coast of California and placed some tentative advertisements featuring a young Gregg Weaver in surfing magazines. In 1973 or 1974 Nasworthy licensed his wheels to Bahne and Co. of Encinitas California and Bahne skateboards were packaged with Cadillac wheels.

1865Best.-Nr. List2724South Carolina 1865. Single letter measuring 7.5 x 10 inches folded one double-sided sheet with stampless envelope. Near fine with light normal wear. George Harpole Vannada 1844–1928 was a private promoted to corporal in Company I of the 25th Indiana Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. The 25th Infantry was a volunteer regiment mustered in August 1861 and mustered out in July 1865. At the time of Vannada’s writing the Regiment was involved in the Campaign of the Carolinas – led by General Sherman this campaign would culminate in the Army of the South’s unconditional surrender and effectively end the war. Vannada writes that his regiment had “started with 25 days rations from pocotaligo staton for i supose Charleston.” On the way they had encountered: “a few Johneys i.e. Confederates not far off i have heard sevrel cannons to day we will be botherd with them all the way to Charleston between here and Buford they had a fort a bout evry 3 miles they wood stop and fire a few shots and then get up a bug for the next fort”. By “Buford” Vannada probably means Beaufort South Carolina which had been occupied by Union forces since November 1861. At this point the Savannah area had been essentially a refugee camp for freed people for several years and Sherman’s Special Field Orders No. 15 which settled them in the nearby South Carolina Sea Islands—the “forty acres and a mule” order—came in response to their request for stewardship over the land. Vannada remarks on Sherman’s order: “Gen Foster has been on Buford Iland for 2 years and now Sherman has comand of his troops i think they will get off now this Iland they have to give to the Niggars to setle on that is all that have famlies 40 acre to the man”. Vannada also accurately forecasts despite the fact that “we don’t often get any papers here to see what is goin on” that there “is some talk of peace down here but i think it is sevrel months off yet”. unknown books
