Various - A Small Collection of Broadsides, Related to Auction Bancruptcy SalesAlbemarle County, VA, Various, 1914. Five broadsides, 1914 - 1935; various sizes, approx. 14 3/4 x 9 and smaller; four of them in very good or better condition - with small closed cuts to top and right edges edge; one in fair condition - very brittle, with chipping and loss of paper to edges; overall very good. An interesting view of Virginia history and of people's financial struggles from 1914 through the Great Depression, the broadsides announced "Trustee's" and "Bancrupt's" sales at public auctions, describing the circumstances leading to the sales (defaulting on payments) and the assets to be sold. Perhaps, the saddest of all would be the sale of valuable property of one Robert H. Bryan, bancrupt, owner of Bryan Printing Company in Charlottesville. Items to be sold included printing presses, thousands of envelopes, furniture, and so on. The other sales would alternately offer farming equipment, horses, and suburban residences and land. Very good . USD 200.00 [Appr.: EURO 184.25 | £UK 157.75 | JP¥ 31132] Book number 003412is offered by:
