1914ref. SHEL114Tuxedo New York 1914: n.p. 1914. Soft cover. Very Good. Not a book. Original document. 9 1/2" x 14" in original frame & under glass. Sealed by a Notary Public in Tuxedo Orange County New York. Initially it appears to be related to a young women's society or club but there is more to it that meets the eye. It has the notary seal with a ribbon that partially reads "R GIRLS" over it & is signed in ink by 29 people 4 of whom are the "Managing Committee" and two of whom are signed under the ribbon. All but the two names under the ribbon have small orange seals beside them. Typed in light print and with three corrections the document reads "It is here-by agreed that we the undersigned on the day and date here-in after mentioned will be one of the party going to Monroe starting from Tuxedo at seven oclock sic in the afternoon on the Nineteenth day of January One Thousand nine hundred and four." Etc. etc. Below the seal & above the four signatures of the managing committee is written in red ink "Red Lemonade Tablets to be used will be strictly in accordance with the formula of the I. D. G. T. The frame is backed with narrow slats upon which there is a label with the following written in ink: "Presented to the "Mystic Seven" January 26th - 1904 by the "oudinae Four". Therein lies a clue and a mystery. There is on the internet information about the "Mystical Seven". The website includes a long essay on the subject and cites a 1907 encyclopedia entry re the society "which is now thought to be dead was in some respects one of the most remarkable and most ambitious college societies in the country" with its roots in the history of Freemasonry in the country. The website gives the history of the "Mystical Seven" which lately continued to exist at Wesleyan. There are further and extensive connections to the history of Freemasonry in the United States to Wesleyan University Methodism & much more. Perhaps the reference to "the Mystic Seven" is only a kind of knock-off from the real thing but the reference is nonetheless intriguing. The names on this document include the names of both men and women although almost of the signatures are first two initials and then last names. This is an unusual document to say the least and undoubtedly a rare piece. n.p. unknown

1880ref. List3999New York City: Donaldson Brothers 1880. Three cards two measuring 3 x 5 inches and one 5 ⅜ x 3 ⅛ inches. Worn especially at corners with occasional small stains; two with small unrelated manuscript verso; one with likely glue residue verso. Lithographs bright and attractive. Overall very good to excellent. Three trade cards advertising Starin's Glen Island considered the US's first amusement park located just off New Rochelle in Westchester County. Shipping magnate John H. Starin 1825-1909 opened the park in 1879. It consisted of six islands connected by covered walking bridges; the cards advertise attractions including a zoo dancing boating and bathing bowling and especially the "Old Fashioned Rhode Island Clam Bake Served on the arrival of each Steamer" from New York City. It would later also include a natural history museum aviary and greenhouse and exhibits themed around Germany India Japan the Philippines and more. The trade cards feature attractive lithographs of boats on Long Island Sound and women swimming and relaxing by the shores. Glen Island was part of the late nineteenth-century transformation of Long Island Sound and the Westchester shore into a recreational landscape for New York City day-trippers reached by excursion steamers and marketed through colorful advertising. Starin's combination of steamboat travel themed amusements bathing animals music food service and picturesque grounds anticipated the more elaborate amusement parks that would define metropolitan leisure at Coney Island and elsewhere.
