I have an original 1880 Shelby Co Atlas - it has the above pic and many more pictures of early Shelbyville and Shelby Co - is there anyone that can give me an estimate as to value. It is in what I think to be very good condition.

this is a very detailed book i own a original copy

I have in my posession a 1871 F.W. Beers ORIGINAL Atlas of Indiana County, Pennsylvania with signatures passing the Atlas down to me. As far as I know another copy was lost in the fire that took place at the Indiana Courthouse and another apparently lost. Could you please tell me the value of this Atlas. It has all pages with corner wear, original binding. Any help would be very much appreciated.

John you have a wonderful atlas. That particular atlas is one of the few Beers I know of that put an illustration on the same page as a map. See http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/18530/Cherry+Tree++Gettysburgh/Indiana+County+1871/Pennsylvania/ for an example. This was fairly common practice on the earlier wall maps, but not so much in the later atlases.brbrAs you might imagine, prices fluctuate all the time, but a good start is to check the online auction sites for previous sales as well as asking rare book dealers in the Indiana County area for their advice.

who was wm.langhorst, i found a bottle in my yard that has wm.langhorst, silverton ohio on it.it also has one pint liquid on it as well.

My mother grew up in Silverton, Ohio. I have a milk bucket that says Wm. Langhorst on it. My mother passed away in 2005, but I recall her telling me that the milk bucket was from the Langhorst Dairy somewhere in the area. I believe they delivered milk to my grandparents. The milk was put in the bucket. My grandparents moved to Silverton in 1926. My grandmother lived there until she passed in 1984. My guess is the dairy was in operation sometime around the 40s, but that is just a guess. My mothers brother is still living. I am sure he has more info. I will have to ask.
