🇺🇸 A Glimpse Into American Classrooms of the 1930s 🇺🇸

Long before smartphones, social media, and even television became common, schoolchildren learned about the American flag from small educational booklets like this one.

Published by the Lincoln School Supply Company of Lincoln, Nebraska, this vintage booklet taught students the history, symbolism, etiquette, and proper display of the Stars and Stripes. It’s a fascinating reminder of how civics and patriotism were taught to earlier generations.

This surviving example dates from the 1920s–1930s era and features striking red, white, and blue cover artwork that still catches the eye nearly a century later.

A small piece of Americana, but an interesting window into the values and educational materials of its time.

Madalyn O’Hair’s War in Vietnam: The Religious Connection isn’t just a book—it’s a snapshot of a very charged moment in American history. Published by American Atheist Press, it dives into the role religion played in U.S. involvement overseas.

The bold atomic-era atheist symbol alone makes this a standout piece for collectors of political, counterculture, and free thought material.

The iconic running roadrunner of mid-century California design.

This Couroc of Monterey serving tray features one of the company’s most recognizable motifs — the stylized roadrunner inlaid into black phenolic resin. Produced in Monterey, California, Couroc became famous for handcrafted trays and decorative objects that combined durability with striking mid-century modern design.

The bold graphic bird against the deep black surface gives this piece the classic MCM look that collectors and interior designers still seek today. These trays were often used for cocktail service, entertaining, or simply displayed as decorative art in mid-century homes.

Couroc’s craftsmanship and distinctive California aesthetic have made these trays enduring collectibles from the golden era of American modern design.

Surreal, quiet, and unmistakably Salvador Dalí.

This striking image comes from a 1994 Taschen TPB devoted to Dalí’s imagination—dreamlike interiors, suspended moments, and that unmistakable tension between stillness and unease. Printed in Germany and presented in Spanish, this volume captures Dalí not as pop icon, but as disciplined surrealist draftsman and visual thinker.

A strong crossover piece for collectors of surrealism, 20th-century art books, European art publishing, and Taschen editions—the kind of book people recognize instantly once they see it, even if they don’t know the title.

A rare piece of 1980s film history just surfaced… and it’s straight from Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983).
This is an original Warner Bros. press-kit set — six total packets, including the main 36-page production notes plus separate bios for Rod Serling, John Landis, Steven Spielberg, and Joe Dante. The full cast/credits packet is included as well.

Some pages show light age staining (common for authentic studio press material), but everything is intact and readable. A great archival addition for collectors of Spielberg, 80s cinema, or Twilight Zone ephemera.
