1927 Denison goods Halloween harvest price list 5th avenue New York Thanksgiving

I’m glad to see these important references get the respect they do in the marketplace. Dennison produced a dizzying array of well designed items from the early teens through the early 1930s before their design aesthetic tapered precipitously. Their nearly annual Bogie Books and their brethren through about 1924 are a great resource for what Dennison was producing and their stock numbers. After that, Dennison used the Bogie Books less as a great resource for both retailers and end consumers and more for just the latter, jettisoning their informative listings for illustrations. For those of us interested in understanding what was produced when and for how many seasons the Bogie Books become less important, supplanted by these annual Price List pamphlets. I have nearly a full run and turn to them frequently for data. They are still fairly cheap, something I expect to change. These pamphlets are significantly harder to find than their corresponding Bogie Books.

1932 DENNISON's HALLOWEEN PICE LIST CATALOG

I eagerly awaited the end of this auction, as I've been searching for Dennison Price List pamphlets from any point in the 1930s for decades. Prior to this listing, I had never seen one from 1932, one of only two years during which Dennison did not publish a Bogie Book or one of their similarly titles annual publications. I put in a very high bid, wanting this to fill in some gaps in my knowledge of just what Dennison actually offered during this time, what stock numbers they used, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to scoop up this valuable and uber-rare pamphlet for a mere $10.50! I received it today and it is, frankly, better than I expected.
