Prewar Boy Scout Books: A Thing of Beauty

Saturday, October 22, 2011

I think the laws of supply and demand really come into affect when you are talking about books that are 100 years old like these early Scout handbooks that recently sold on eBay.  Just how many 1910 editions can there possibly be left in the world?  Probably not enough to satisfy Scout collectors desire to have one especially since we just finished the centennial year.  The other two pieces I've included in this post are unusual World Jamboree listings from the 1930s that are definitely worth a look.   Click the text or image links to see more details on these great pieces.

Boy Scout Manuals & Paper Highly Collectible

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

There is no signature in Scouting more well known than that of Green Bar Bill Hillcourt.  The handbook that he signed that came in #3 on this list is actually the same edition that I started out on when I crossed over into Boy Scouts in 1984.  Of course when it comes to books condition is everything and I think you will see upon closer consideration that several of these listings came in so high because they are in mint condition.
