Two-Gun Bob's Saloon - The Pulps of Robert E. Howard
Xaltotun replied to RedFury's topic in Pulp Magazines
Ah, obviously! I was wondering who bought that. Congratulations! I don't know if you knew this, but this is one of the letters we knew existed but no one I know had seen. Send me a high res scan when you get the chance! (Which makes me think *I* have something to send you. I'll do that this weekend). I estimate there are about 60 to 80 Howard signatures out there in the private market. That's not a lot, so double congrats! -

Two-Gun Bob's Saloon - The Pulps of Robert E. Howard

My 10/33: REH + CAS + HPL + iconic Brundage. Why this issue can now be north of 10k is completely beyond me. -
One element to factor in, I think, is that comics were aimed at very young kids, who would by nature be very careless about them and of course throw them away when getting older. The survival ratio of pulps would be higher. Just a hunch, no data to back this up.

Speaking of the Jenkins Gent, I had fun a few years ago when I arranged to have 5 copies on display for a panel during Howard Days. We had of course kept that a secret! -

I used to own a book (a booklet rather), edited by Don Herron in 1976 about George Haas. Forget the title, but it contained a lot of photos of CAS sculptures. It was published in a limited edition, I think by the "Dawn Heron Press" or somesuch. Maybe you could find additional info in there. -

Sorry for the long time in ackowledging your message Dwight, but I was gone from the boards for quite some time. I was of course aware of the article in the Cimmerian. I worked quite a bit with Danny Street on the history of the Gents, but he was the one that discovered so much about it. At the time, little was known about the copies that were institutionally held. Here they are: 01. The British Library (London, England) 02. The National Library (Edinburgh, Scotland) 03. The Bodleian Library (Oxford, England) 04. Trinity College Library (Dublin, Ireland) 05. Cambridge University Library (Cambrige, England) 06. Howard house copy (Cross Plains, TX) [found in South Africa, bought by Leo Grin, and subsequently donated to the Howard House museum.] 07. Ranger Junior College Library (Ranger, TX) [originally belonged to Howard’s father.] The 11 others are privately held, most of them in ratty condition. Only 4 or 5 copies were discovered in the past 20 years, meaning that we have probably reached the limit, or close to it, of surviving copies. Anyway, that story of A Gent and the Shadow pulps always was a favorite of mine. Collectors with a passion, and miracles happening! Patrice -

Top-Notch, June 1935, with "Hawk of the Hills", by far the best of the El Borak stories. Doug Ellis owns the original art to this beautiful cover. -

Back in Austin now. It was lots of fun and good to see friends I hadn't seen in two years. Sadly, Jeff couldn't make it this year. -

Headed to Cross Plains, TX, for Howard Days. GoH this year is none other than Roy Thomas! -
That's almost helpful. I added a "returns accepted" note, but I don't see what else I am missing.
