NEAR MINT Antique Vintage Dennison Bogie Book Halloween Thanksgiving Décor, 1925

Dennison produced many annual issues of their Bogie Books. The first one, from 1909, is represented by only one known copy. Those produced from 1912-1917 are devilishly difficult to find. Those produced from 1919-1926 are more common. What differentiates this 1925 edition is condition. Dennison smartly published and distributed these Bogie Books to end-users, not to retailers. The typical person interested in decorating for the season would page through these staple-bound references with nary a thought for keeping it in nice condition. (Most people didn’t think about future value at this time.) So, to find an issue in near-mint or better condition, regardless of the year of issue, is unusual. Given that, and this seller’s reputation and reach, I expect this to do quite well.
