Denver Stock Exchange Books and Maps

The history of Colorado is told in many ways; financial documents, maps, books, view books, brochures, professional publications, etc. We believe that the books, maps and other various publications that abound from Colorado are an important link between the stock certificates, checks and ephemera that we collect and the history they represent. After all, they tell the story and reference many of the items we collect, giving them just that much more importance and value. If you have not collected books, maps and other written publications in the past, it may be something to consider. A thorough reference library pertaining to your area of collecting interest will increase the value of your overall collection, both historically and monetarily!

Phenix Rising

The Historic Buildings of Cripple Creek, Colorado

60-minute color DVD

A wonderful DVD with images from around the Cripple Creek District and the fascinating stories behind them. An interesting look into Cripple Creek's historic past.

"The land of Fortune, is the way the promoters of Cripple Creek described the bountiful district in 1892. Churches, schools, telegraph offices, banks, a post office and newspapers, were being rapidly built to accommodate thousands of people flooding into the district. However the great fires of 1896 nearly ended this progress. But from these ashes the city rose like the mythical Phenix to become one of the wealthiest and classiest cities to tame the west."

Produced by the City of Cripple Creek, in association with Encore Video Productions.

Panoramic Photo - Camp Perry, Ohio

August 24, 1907

Photo by G.A. Bash, Canton, Ohio

Wonderful original panoramic photo taken at the newly built Camp Perry, Ohio just days after the "first shot" was fired on Aug. 19, 1907. Created by the Ohio National Guard as a training grounds, it is still in use today and is the world's largest outdoor rifle range. The camp was used in World War I by the United States Army to train officers and marksmen. This photo is a great piece of American Military history!

Image is mounted on original stiff board which measures approximately 26" x 7 ^1/2". The image itself measures approximately 23 ^3/4" x 4". Board has small holes in the 4 corners as well as top and bottom center where it obviously was hung up at some point. The image is too large for my scanner, so I had to stitch 3 scans together, which created a slight "bump" in the top of the scanned image just left of center. This is NOT on the original photo. Condition of the photo is overall Fine. Image is quite clear where items within the tents can be seen clearly with a magnifying glass. A train can also be seen in the background of the photo.

Offered at: $50 Newly Listed!
