WOW! This auction (CLICK HERE) is for a very rare 1915 book titled on the front “HISTORY - FIRE DEPARTMENT - NORFOLK, VA.” published in 1915 by the NORFOLK FIREMEN’S RELIEF ASSOCIATION.

Elvis For Everyone! Vintage Record Album

This item is the 1965 “Elvis For Everyone” Record, RCA Victor LPM-3450 Original

This is vintage Elvis from the early years of his career. This record is a rare find.

This is a used MONAURAL record, not stereo. There are some surface scratches and also a bump on the last song of side #2. The bump is a little bigger than the head of a straight pin. The cover is worn and torn some along the edges and corners, some discoloration. I’ve included several pictures below and you will see that the album is still together and looks good for its age. The paper sleeve is stuck to the inside of the album cover and won’t come out. The cover looks like it had been wet sometime in the past. The sleeve is what it is, just a sleeve. Please see photos for condition. Also, please excuse the glare from the flash. This is a wonderful and rare early Elvis Presley album.

NAVAJO Geneaology & History? SANDERS, ARIZONA Apache 1953 VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK!

Wow! This item is a VERY rare 1953 yearbook titled “Pirate” from VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL in SANDERS, ARIZONA (Apache County). This old book is FULL of autographs and signatures, including great photos and information about the students, faculty, and school activities. There are many Native American Indian students at the school. Some of the students include Harry Begay, Paul Begay, Montie Rooks, Dorothy Silversmith, Amy Footracer, and even a Native American student named Benny Custer! This book originally belonged to a Freda Lynch, who was a senior in 1953 (there were only 6 seniors! but a lot more underclassmen). There is even a section of the book dedicated to the “Americanization” class, which had really young looking students. This could provide great research for someone interested in geneology or Native American ancestry. You might see someone you know or even someone famous! The cover of the book is loose, but the inside is strong. The book is not in perfect condition, but is still a very interesting piece of history from Arizona. It has survived many years and somehow made it to Florida from Arizona.
