Washington Golden Jubilee Celebration Tacoma July 20-23 1939. Fifty Years of Progress. Souvenir Program
Publisher: Tacoma Washington 1939
Heavy paper wraps printed in green, gold, and red, with deco-ish panels showing logging at top, futuristic city buildings and transportation at bottom. A program for the State of Washington's fiftieth anniversary of statehood, plus numerous promotional pages including photographs and advertising. This item is now older than the event it celebrated, and gives another sort of historical perspective on the State. The cover has a few spots and some edgewear, slightly toned at edges. Internally there are some toned pages ages, but overall considering the lower quality paper used the program remains in very good condition.

Deed to One-half Interest in Pioneer Steam Sawmill and Properties, Placer County California 1860
Publisher: Placer County California 1860
Light blue paper, 17 x 14 inches, folded in offical manner to 8.5 x 3.5 inches. An indenture specifying the sale of one-half interest in the Pioneer Steam Sawmill, located on owl creek about two miles from Yankee Jim's [sic] and including about three hundred acres of land togeher with houses, stables, lumber, machinery. Dated July 13, 1860 and recorded in Placer County California. Party of the first part was H.C. Hollinshead, party of the second part was Samuel Todd, who purchased this one-half interest for the sum of $2420. This area was in Gold Rush country, one wonders what became of it. A Samuel Todd was elected Sheriff of Placer County in 1854, perhaps the same individual. The deed is in good condition with a small oily stain about 2 inches long along the left (folded) edge, and some charming ink marks on the back where the recorder apparently wiped or tested his pen point (they are clearly the imprint of a dip pen nib).
