Need help with Platinum and Earlier comic identification...

[Ameri]

Thanks guys. I have a Diamond Run certificate for the Tighe but the seller didn't have any other details about it.

Ok,

 

I went back to the antique store with the copy of "A Bunch of Lemons" to get a closer look. It turns out that it is a mostly-text book, consisting of a collection of lemon jokes (who knew?)

 

Anyway, besides the cover, there is only on other small illustration on the title page. Still worth the buy?

Such early Annies seem like an absolute bargain at $50 each. Not a comic, but has anyone ever seen this wooden display of Tighe? Love to find out what year it was made. It's about a 6" by 12" and there's no identifying marks. Homemade?

 

 

I would venture to guess circa 1905 - 1910.

I am a big fan of collecting Platinum books. Some examples in my collection:

Hello all,

 

Ok, I've got a new batch for you to look at. Sorry for the poor photos, but the shop had bad light and the owner was a bit worrisome about me taking pictures.

 

The prices aren't cheap on these books, so I would appreciate some insight.

Hewitt's Illuminated Household Stories for Little folks - vol 1. Cinderella - ca 1855 - Supposedly an early Cinderella story. Sorry no interior shots, but it has illustrations on almost every page.

The only one that might overlap into the comic realm is the Hewet's. You could see if it's in the Victorian section of Overstreet. The rest are strictly children's books.

No, I can't find the Hewitt (Cinderella) book at all there. I was thinking it might be in the "not recognized yet" camp. At $250, I would like to make sure...

 

I'm also wondering if the Three Little Pigs books might be something. It's one of the few books of this type the noted illustrator Walter Crane did. (or so I'm told)
