Alchemical Laboratory Bulletins - 3 bound volumes - by Frater Albertus. These are all part of the library of Siegfried and Ellen Karsten. Dr. Karsten was an esteemed economics professor at the University of Wyoming. The only specimen I can find online is the 1965-1969.

There's a few boxes of Dr. Karsten's other books that I still need to research. These are the most interesting ones so far.

Dr. Karsten was an inner-circle collaborator, editor, and the official German translator for Frater Albertus. These are his personal copies. I have his copies of The Alchemist's handbook , Praxis Spagyrica Philosophica and Practical Alchemy in the Twentieth Century (in German). These are also signed and numbered by Frater Albertus.

I have other books from his library as well: The Hermetic Museum Vol. 1 & 2, a 4 volume set of Alchemy published by Vincent Stuart Ltd, only 500 impressions, Alan Leo set of Astrological Text Books, etc.

Prelude to Chemistry, it is signed by Frater Albertus to Dr. Karsten by Frater Albertus' real name with his wife. Newspaper clipping of his passing is included.

Dr. Karsten's library stamp is included on all of these books and other books I have of his

Found this Marquee from 1984. Challenger by Pacific with copyright from Universal Co Ltd. I can't find another like this. There was a Challenger game I found from 1981 but that was from Centuri. This measures 20"x 8" and is made of 3/16" thick glass.

Any idea what this game is and if this marquee is valuable? I purchased at auction because I liked the graphics and it depicts the space shuttle Challenger which exploded two years later in 1986.

On the Forgotten Road by Henry Baerlein (1909). I've researched for about an hour and can't find another copy of this book online, either currently or in the past. It appears that he signs this copy to Miss Violet Kay who was a socialite from Italy in the 1920's with her husband Alberto di Godio.

He dedicates the book to Lady Fremantle who I believe is Elizabeth Wynne Fremantle (1778-1857). She was the author of the Wynne Diaries and married to Admiral Thomas Fremantle.

Henry Baerlein, from England, was an author of many travel and historical books.

Miss Violet Kay sat for a few art pieces in the early 1900's. A photo in the UK National Art Galley of Englands Most Beautiful Women and a portrait bust in Italy as Marchesa Godi de Godio, after she was married.

Help in Identifying these Bushnells please.

Found these binoculars today. I can see that they are Bushnell Featherlight 8x21. I can't find these exact style on the web or google image search. Does anyone happen to know approximately when these were made and if they are rare/valuable?
