Quality and Communication Count.   A "Short Story" on our "Once-in-a-Lifetime" Warehouse Find: I found and purchased this small quantity of various titles and artists from a Basement storage area beneath an old Downtown Santa Ana, California General Merchandise Store.  Many, if not most, are from the long defunct Los Angeles Publishing Company and were produced primarily during the 1920’s and 1930’s.  I have since taken great effort to store flat and to protect the ones remaining since making the “Find” in 1973 – most are still in mint and near-mint condition. Through the decades, I have sold most of this unique find to (and had input from) hundreds of dealers and collectors,  gradually adding to the accumulation of specific information.  These old Lithographs are fairly well known in the trade.  During the early years, we sold these primarily through the Antique Trader Newspaper in Dubuque, Iowa.  Haddad's old Trade Catalog lists many of these dating back to the 1920’s. Some are plate-signed and dated; all are documented accurately; we have NEVER made a single copy of any Lithograph or Artwork.  These are the small numbers that remain of  the actual titles from the original Publishing Company;  Early 20th Century techniques of Photoengraving and Photolithography were the primary methods of faithful reproduction of Original Art and Paintings;  the limited numbers of these lithographs are great examples of the early techniques.   I will include a Certificate attesting to the Authenticity of the old lithographs including the above information with each auction.   SPECIAL NOTE ON SHIPPING: WE MAKE NO MONEY AND ACTUALLY LOSE MONEY OVERALL ON THE SHIPPING & HANDLING - WE HAVE SUPPLIES, PACKAGING, PADDING, LABOR & TRANSPORT COSTS AS WELL AS THE ACTUAL USPS, UPS, OR DHL HIGH COST FOR THE FREIGHT ITSELF.
