Every other Friday there is an auction not far from here that I like to go to and every so often they get some really nice stuff to sell there. Tonight they had a book that I didn't have in my collection yet and I had only seen one other copy of; "The history of the Studebaker corporation" by A. R. Erskine, 1918. I looked through it and found an original of Mr. Erskine's business cards. I figured that I would go up to about $60 on the book... Then somebody decided to run me up and... But I got the thing. I've seen copies of the same book before but usually they are bigger and have a solid brown cover. Is this rare?

Originally posted by Chris_Dresbach View PostI wondered about that since there is no contact information. This does raise a question for me though. In the preface it starts out "This book is intended for all stock holders, dealers, and employees of Studebaker" and signed A. R. E. Would Erskine's card have came with the book? I've never seen one before.Richard Quinn
