Dennisons Bogie Book Halloween 1926 Vintage How to Entertain Costumes Party Idea

The 1926 Dennison Bogie Book is arguably the most common one of all. If you are going to see one for sale it will invariably be this edition. The later Bogies and their differently named brethren become much less of a rich resource for archivist collectors like me. The detailed annual offering of wares shown in the earlier Bogies disappear, replaced by illustrations and other generic pablum. Dennison moved the detail to the Price List pamphlets, so these elusive publications become much more of a resource to those interested in understanding what was produced when. The collecting market has finally awakened to this reality as prices for the Price List pamphlets have escalated. (I feel they have much more room to run.)
The price for this edition, even in very-fine-plus condition or better, typically never reaches the lofty height this listing is requesting.
