Offered are two pieces of vintage 19th century ephemera on the topic of 19th century Christian Missionary work with focus on the African and African-American Slave populations.The first piece is a 12 page paper pamphlet written by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions that discusses the Mission philosophy and world-wide global plan to convert or evangelize Africans, Asians, and Native Americans. An interesting historical perspective. Printed in Boston, Massachusetts, by Perkins + Martin, 1838-- excellent condition. Secondly offered is a small, early 19th century, hard cover book containing the memoirs of 5 different women--African Slave, Native American and Caucasian, their trials and tribulations and the effect of Christianity upon them. This tiny missionary book measures 3.25 inches wide x 5 inches long. While there is no publisher or date of publication, the memoirs focus upon women living in the first half of the 19th century. The 127 page book is in fine condition- tightly bound, no missing pages with age-related foxing to pages and some water staining.

Measuring 12 inches wide x 10.25 inches long, this 1949, "Adventures of Little Black Sambo" Little Nipper Story Book Album was produced by RCA Victor. Illustrated by Henri Rene, the book features nine, large-size, wonderfully illustrated and brightly colored story pages. Two 78 RPM records originally accompanied the story book, but only one still remains. Young readers were supposed to silently read the story book while listening to the story being read aloud by Paul Wing on the record. When Little Nipper barked 3 times, that was the signal to turn to the next page! Condition: edge wear as well as binding wear as noted in photos. Binding stitching is becoming loose as seen on one page (see photo). As previously stated, one of the two original records is missing. The remaining record has not been played but a visual inspection suggests it could be played if so desired. A rare find! Despite its age-related faults, this colorful album displays just beautifully and is a must-have, complementary addition to one's Little Black Sambo collection!

All seven pages of this seldom-found, 1942, giant, soft cover, Little Black Sambo book published by the Saalfield Publishers Company have been photographed for one’s viewing pleasure!
In utterly excellent condition, this version of Little Black Sambo is seldom found on today’s market given the delicate nature of its thick paper pages. This particular edition was obviously never used and sat for all of its years, untouched in a desk drawer!
The illustrations executed by Ethel Hays are superb with rich coloration! A "giant" size, this book measured 9.75 inches wide x 13 inches long. A must have edition for the collector of Little Black Sambo books, unlikely to be found again in this outstanding condition!

In lovely condition with the exception of subtle fading to Mammy's red head kerchief, this delightful 1940's pin cushion doll appears to have been unused! No pinholes can be seen! Mammy's head and body are actually constructed of a single wooden clothespin that was then inserted into her cotton-batting-padded skirt. Her face is hand-painted, she has a tuft of white cotton batting hair peeking out from her kerchief, and her apron is stamped in black ink "Souvenir of New Orleans". A very sweet piece to add to one's sewing or doll collection!

Please note: This item was photographed under glass, and thus some photos depict unavoidable light reflection which distorts both color and condition. Coloring of poster is rich and is uniform throughout with consistent color and tone. Please view all photos for true representation of fine condition.Offered is a fabulous and seldom found World War I poster that honors the service of the African-American male Army Calvary soldier. Tastefully rendered, this 17" x 20" paper lithographed poster on cardboard depicts a World War I African-American Calvary soldier bidding farewell to his proud girlfriend/wife as his regiment marches forward off to war in the background. This rarely found poster is entitled, "COLORED MAN IS NO SLACKER". It was published in 1918 by S.G. Renesch of Chicago (thus printed in lower left hand corner). The poster remains in its original, black-painted, wooden frame with glass, with original nails holding the poster in place in the back. The poster remains in very fine condition for its 90 years of age, showing some subtle wrinkling of paper to the lower 1/5th of the poster, likely the result of subjection to dampness, although, please note, that NO water staining is present. This poster is a credit to the service of the many African-American men who so faithfully served and died to protect the liberty of the United States of America. A must-have addition to one's Black Memorabilia collection!
