Jerry, etal
Actually $100 is a good price for any pre World War I
literature, even with some damage. It's just very rare. Even advertisements
are not all that common although fairly cheap when you do find them . But the
factory literature that old is just pure Gold. Few pieces survived 
especially pre
World War I stuff. Not until the 30s & 40s did any one really start to collect
automobile literature. The World War I stuff runs $100 to $200 ; the 20s stuff
is usually only one or two colors and depending on size and condition any where
from $20 for ratty to $75 or so mint condition; 30s stuff runs $40 to $75 
or so as does
the 40's stuff. From the 50s on the stuff gets  fairly common for most of 
it with a few
exceptions. Most of 50 & 60s stuff runs $15 to $25 . The exception is the 
factory press
kits and data and upholstery books. If any one would know it would be me as 
I've bought
a ton of this stuff and frankly if you can put me in touche with the guy It 
be interested in the 1907
literature myself. In 25 years of collection I've come across very few 
pieces that early. Some I
bought some I did not have the money for at the time. Lets just say I have 
one of the larger
collection of Nash & AMC literature in the country. The prices pretty much 
runs the same for
most of the Ford and Chevy, etal literature too. thanks Larry R. Daum

What's a 1907 Rambler sales brochure worth?

I went to a train show in Winchester, VA today, and
afterwards, I stopped by a Flea market I'd heard
about, and one vendor had some awesome stuff, one
thing he had was a wonderful 1907 Rambler sales
brochure, the front cover and first several pages had
water-damage enough to make a hole, but the rest of
the inside pages were pristine, damn clean, and crisp.
Unbelievable shape for something that old. He wanted
$100 for it, I didn't take him up on his generous low
price, but was wondering what anyone else might think
an original 25 page or so Rambler brochure might be
worth. It had some color printing, listed models, etc.
The covers had 3 holes and were tied to the pages with
multi-strand thread and had nice end-cap bangles on
the free ends. Pretty nifty piece. I don't need it,
and didnt' get his number, but he has alot of
automotive stuff, too bad no Rambler stuff, he has
Studebaker and Packard and Desoto ( and loves IH,
judging by how much of it he has ). Has multiple
tables of stuff inside wooden display cases. If anyone
is interested, next time ( could be a LONG time, I
rarely go up that way much ), I can try to get any
contact info.
  Anyway, just thought it was worth a mention.
