![]() This is a bridge score book from White Castle. I don't know if it's from the 40's or 50's. Has anyone here ever seen one of these or think they know how old it might be?

No copyright date on the back cover? |

Be able to narrow it down for you. That font was very popular. |

Since we're on nostalgic booklets, I found this the other day. It's a first edition magazine that reviews "erotic" software (unoffensive link). http://tinypic.com/useralbum.php?ua=...Wt98y4gA%3D%3D I'll sell it to the highest bidder above the cover price. -sw |

That sets an early limit on it. The graphics do look like the forties or fifties to me. I found a bunch of similar ones for sale, but none that claimed a date. It did say they usually had the locations of area restaurants. It might be possible to figure out something closer if you knew when various locations opened and closed. Mike Beede |

We had the yearly garage sale at the summer joint. I'm getting it ready to sell so I didn't shop but we had friends up who did. The association has a deal with the trash company for a Monday pickup after the sale and they take as much as you put at the street. They wanted a fire so I went out Saturday night and collected furniture to burn and found a big stack of old gaming books and the white castle thing was mixed in with it. I see chemo found some on eBay and it's not worth anything to it will go in the time capsule. Lou |

I think he's about 80. Thanks for the idea. Lou |

I was told that by an old bookseller, who told me about his biggest score. He bought a collection on flowers that had been in a house that burned down. Insurance paid it off, he bought the books, removed the dust jackets, aired them out, and sold them to a collector in France. |

Insurance paid it off, he bought the books, removed the dust jackets, aired them out, and sold them to a collector in France. I only grabbed furniture for the fire. The books I wanted. I guess I can see how it came out wrong. There's a bunch of other old stuff I grabbed that we haven't researched yet to see the value or evaluate if we're going to keep. I agree that books should never be burnt or tossed. When I thinned out my cook books I loaded them in the trunk and drove with them for a month and everyone we saw got to pick what they wanted. What was left was given to a resale store. There were hundreds of books and not one ended up in a landfill. Lou |

You can have the other two and the guy. You're younger than me and I can't handle them all. Lou |

Looks like some cookbooks my mother bought at the time. |
