For auction is a lot of ten items. They are mostly 1960's memories of Houston, Texas. The items are: (1) Don & Seymour LP record album; Gadget Records; 33 1/3 RPM; recorded at Gold Star Studios Houston; side two contains songs sung by Seymour and side one includes the songs sung by Don Travis, aka Cadet Don, aka Al Eisenmann; I bought this very hard to find album over 15 years ago but I have never listened to it as I don't have a record player; the record has scratches but I am sure it will be able to play; I had intended to display it in a frame but I never got around to framing it; the backside of the album cover has a printed letter/dedication by Larry Kane, i.e. The Larry Kane Show. (2) book Cadet Don, A Memoir by Al Eisenmann, copyright 1998, 234 pages; I bought mine three years ago for $85 as it is out of print and hard to find; the first page has Cadet Don's short note to somebody named Rita and is signed simply, Al; the book is his life story; one of the many interesting facts in his book is mention of his professional singing debut in the 50's with a group called The Scholars, of which Kenny Rogers was a member but he went by Kenneth back then. (3) unused hamburger wrapper from 1950's or 1960's Prince's Hamburgers; it lists 10 locations citywide in Houston; I think my family used to eat at one of the locations on S. Main St. (4) brochure for the Astrodome with the Astros 1966 home schedule listed; it mentions that you could get tickets at the Astrodome ticket office, Trans-Texas Airways ticket office, Sheraton-Lincoln Hotel, Rice Hotel and Foley's Department Store downtown. (5) thru (8) four old Houston Post Spanish Learn-A-Language LP records, 33 1/3 RPM, copyrights 1946 and 1955; each record is different; the four records are a complete set and each record has two different sides; it appears as if the first record is the only one that was used by the previous owner; the Houston Post was a daily newspaper and as you probably already know, it is no longer in existence. (9) unused napkin from Bob Adamcik's Cafe in Schulenburg, Texas which closed in the 60's; my family stopped there many times back in the day; it has a lot of printing, including the backside which has a comical representation of the United States map in which Texas is most of the U.S. with the northeast labeled Unexplored Territory and Yankee Land, the West is labeled Vast Desert, Rugged Country and the area for California is labeled A few wild fruits (too much rain and snow for anything else). (10) a 1970's or 80's brochure for Aquarena Springs in San Marcos, TX. I ship worldwide and I combine shipping for any number of my auctions that might be won by the same person. I'll put everything in one box and charge only the exact shipping cost. To U.S. bidders, I will pay for delivery confirmation and I offer two different mailing options. To all international bidders, I also offer two different mailing options but they do not include any of your country's possible import duties, taxes or other customs charges. Those charges are the buyer's responsibility. Your country's customs office can help you determine what those costs might be. Additionally, to international bidders, please be aware that the least expensive mailing option can take up to four weeks for delivery but it also could take only a week or two. I have no control over the shipment time. Thanks for looking.
