| | | | The picture shows the (2) Old American Rug Company Of Athens, Greece Advertising Items in this lot. Shown is both sides of an introduction note and the cover of a real nice advertising booklet of theirs. I can not find a date, but these are believed to be from the 1800's. The letter starts out by stating that they are the only Americans in business in Greece. The letter and booklet goes into much detail about their rug business. The booklet is filled with pictures of their rugs and also of locations in Greece. In the back there is a long list of their well to do customers all over the place. It is marked on the cover as follows: PUT THIS IN YOUR POCKET
SOUVENIR OF ATHENS
PRESENTED BY THE
AMERICAN RUG CO.
OF ATHENS GREECE
DEALERS IN FINE ORIENTAL RUGS
PERSONALLY SELECTED To judge the sizes the booklet measures 5-3/8" x 3-3/8". The letter is in mint condition and the booklet very good with some edge water spotting on some of the pages. |
