    Description

    This is a hard-to-find Hohner catalog from the 1930s.  I've never seen this one.  Maybe my historically-trained mind is reading too much into the graphics of this piece, but I find the artwork rather frightening and foreboding.   It smacks of a world domination vision forming at the time --- with Nazi Germany and Stalinism on the rise and the promise of a dark future.   The black and white tones and the oversized instruments hovering over the people and the landscape are rather grim.   What happened to happy people enjoying their music?    Anyway, that's my take.   Otherwise, it's a great catalog showing the product offerings of the day.
    I've recently acquired a LARGE amount of vintage paper from a collector's estate.    There are auto manuals, military paper, railroad stuff, food and recipe paper, political pamphlets, oddball magazines,  entertainment paper --- just about any paper you can think of.   Some of it is in perfect shape and some is in rough condition.  Things to look out for in the photos are page yellowing, corner bumping, rips and tears, handwriting, etc. --- normal flaws in old paper.  Closely check the photos out and get back to me if you have any questions.   Please bookmark me and check back once in awhile for more fun paper.
    THE FINE PRINT AND FAQS:
    1. Carefully examine my studio-quality photographs.  I do my best to document any flaws or issues. I tend to go overboard in showing flaws.  I hate surprises when I buy on eBay as much as you do.     I also do my best to accurately describe the items I find.  Some categories I know better than others.  I will tell you what I know and what I have researched.  After that you are on your own.  Please ask questions and I will help out if I can. Some eBayers have been very generous helping me out with the nuances of certain categories.  Feel free to help me out with your knowledge.    I welcome your expertise and enjoy learning about new stuff.
    2.  I basically sell "As Is."    That said, I will accept returns if I have been negligent in my listing information.  This includes outright mistakes, misrepresentations,  or any errors on my part. I do not know everything about everything (don't tell my kids that please).  If you are not sure about something and want to "try it out" at home before having "Buyer's remorse," please do not bid.   Every auction or estate sale I go to is "as is." I do better than that with my return policy.    I mess up once in a while and I have honored all returns.  Please respect this policy.
    3.  I will combine shipping cost when possible.  If you pay after buying more than one lot, I will refund some of the shipping cost.
