Vintage SOUTH AFRICA ZULU & BOER WAR, BRITISH MILITARY Paper Lot, 1877-1900 more

This interesting lot of SOUTH AFRICAN & BRITISH MILITARY COLLECTIBLES comes from a lode of material we picked up a number of years ago from an old, venerated bookstore in Seattle which went out of business after 100 years of service. We were able to purchase a large lot of ephemera dating from roughly 1840 to 1930 - including loose pages from a variety of the BEST ILLUSTRATED AND RESPECTED MAGAZINES AND JOURNALS of the day. Many of these magazines and journals include scholarly and entertaining articles on many subjects of interest -- many having never been reprinted in any form.

In our "spare" time we have been selecting many hard-to-get subjects from this group and putting together some scarce and highly interesting material.

This group of 20 sheets come from HARPER'S ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY & ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. Pages measure on average about 11" x 16". ALL ARE FULL PAGES UNLESS OTHERWISE DESCRIBED.

This group contains the following:

Four pages on THE MATABILI INSURRECTION - full short article - one DOUBLE-PAGE ILLUSTRATION showing DEFEAT OF THE REBELS BETWEEN MOVENE KRAAL AND GWELO - also two 3/4 page illustrations showing TAYLOR'S FORT AND CROW'S NEST OUTSIDE BULUWAYO and SCOUTS LOOKING FOR THE ENEMY - also two small photographs featuring KING KHAMA & HIS THIRD BRIDE, SEFHAKWANE, 1896 (see PICS # 6, 7 & 8);

Page with 3/4 page illustration - THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA - BOER PICKETS READING THE BIBLE, 1900 (see PIC # 9, right side);

Page with full article front and back and 6 photo and other illustrations - THE PORT OF TRANSVAAL - DELAGOA BAY AS A FACTOR IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR - 1871 (see PIC # 9, left side);

Page with full short article on PROGRESS OF THE BOER WAR, 1900 (not shown);

Page with 3 drawings and captions - THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA - showing HIGHLANDERS SIGNALLING AT MODDER RIVER, MEN OF THE ROYAL IRISH REGIMENT COVERING THE RETIREMENT OF THE AUSTRALIANS ON MODDER'S FARM and more, 1900 (see PIC # 10);

Page with 3 drawings and captions - THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA - showing BRITISH SENTRY, THE CITY IMPERIAL VOLUNTEERS IN ACTION, & A DETACHMENT OF SOUTH-AFRICAN LIGHT HORSE SCOUTING BLOEMFONTEIN, 1900 (see PIC # 10);

Two page full article and 6 photos - THE ADVANCE ON PRETORIA FROM KRONSTAD TO THE RHENOSTER RIVER, 1900 (not shown);

Full page illustration - A BOER COMMANDO ON PARADE, circa 1900 (not shown).

Condition is generally FAIR to GOOD (all pages have moderate to heavy corner and edge wear and some mostly light finger smudges from general handling; several have edge tears; all have creases from handling; some have occasional foxing; SOME PAGES MAY BE YELLOWED AND BRITTLE FROM AGE).

Shipping & handling for this item is $4.00 Media Mail to anywhere in the U.S., though buyers in Alaska and Hawaii may want to request a faster option; insurance, delivery confirmation and other shipping extras must be requested by the winner. We're always happy to combine shipping on multiple wins. Material will be shipped carefully and lightly rolled, wrapped in plastic to keep out dampness, and sent in a first-rate strong shipping tube. PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Winning bidders will be automatically notified at the end of the auction. I make an effort to communicate quickly with everyone; I usually ship twice a week and every item is guaranteed to be carefully and safely packaged.

Please see our other Ebay auctions for many used, odd, and rare collectibles. Thank you!

He displayed the greatest courage and determination in carrying out the task allotted to him in face of great difficulties and under heavy shellfire, personally laying the cable, and pushing on through heavy barrage when the situation was obscure, in order to gain information which could not be obtained in any other way.

The best customers are the ones who come back, why not become one yourself?

************************************************************

Feedback: I always leave positive feedback once the buyer has left the same and I am confident that the transaction has been positive and enjoyable for both buyer and seller. If, for some reason, you are unhappy or have concerns, please email me first before leaving negative feedback. Trust me, it's in both of our interests to work out the differences before we put on the boxing gloves. I have a pretty good feedback record, so if in doubt, just ask.

An Important message to the window shoppers: If you are viewing my listings and wish to comment on any aspect of the description, please do so, but keep it clean, positive and constructive. If you have a grudge against anything I have stated, make sure you back up your claim with a peer reviewed online source to back up your claim, otherwise I'll direct you to re-read this section you naughty little boys! Whilst I do love spending hours learning and talking to collectors who have more information than me about a particular object, if you are a johnny come lately know it all, whose had 2 pints of mid strength and had a row with the wife/cat/dog/postman/religious entity/snails in the garden eating your cabbages, don't waste your time. I find that global warming could easily be reduced by you saving the power used to email me. Instead, you could easily take your frustration out on watching old episodes of Fawlty Towers/Cheers/Germaine Greer exercise videos.

British Saladin Armored Car

Runs great, no major issues, 26,000lbs.  Street legal in Texas with license plate, clear title.  1969 model.  All MOD records included, this vehicle spent it's life on the island of Cypress from 1971 to 1990 in service to the Queen.  Comes with a long list of Kit such as cannon tools, cables, maint. tools, full set of manuals, etc.  Recently drove it on a 15-mile road march to a parade in Burnet, Texas with no issues.  Does not have a radio but has all the hookups ready to install your clansman.  1919's shown do not go with the vehicle as they are live and stay with me.  The cannon is demilled but complete.  The only thing this  vehicle is missing is the cannon recoil guard.  Small hydraulic leak somewhere-small as in I've had to add 2 quarts in 2 years-just messy on sub-floor of vehicle.  Hydraulic accumulators require charging w/nitrogen about every 3-4 mos, I have equipment that does this easily and will go with the vehicle.   This is a serious piece of armor, can be driven in town if you have a spotter along, full turn signals/brake lights, etc.  Can drive onto a trailer for transport, doesnt require any permits for trailering but will require a tractor trailer.  Selling to buy something else to play with.    AS-IS. 

****ATTENTION BUYERS***** AUSTIN'S SHIPPING RULES!!!!!! PLEASE NOTE: I do this as a HOBBY not a business, so, therefore, my normal job takes precedence. IF you have to have your item next day or expect me to take a ration of &^%$ from you for not shipping on day or day after of payment, PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE. However, NORMALLY I ship w/in 3-days of payment. If you have no patience and expect your package in less than a week or some other absurd short time frame, PLEASE do not buy here!!!!! Look elsewhere and save us both some headache!!! ALSO, I ship UPS Grd or USPS Post Office ONLY, unless you want to call for a pickup at my residence and pay for a packaging charge fee that UPS charges me to wrap my packages and is normally built into their price.  Look, I am generally a good guy to work with and never try to screw anyone around, I like to get repeat customers and you dont do that by ripping people off!!  Buy with confidence here, treat me right and I'll do the same!

OUTSIDE USA SHIPPING - I dont ship outside the USA so dont even ask.

NON-USA Registered Buyers - Dont accept bids from non-USA registered buyers so dont even ask-no exceptions.
