Antique Odd Fellows Play Fundraising Pamphlet RARE Fire Co. No. 2 Pitcairn PA:

This listing is for a fascinating Antique Odd Fellows Play ad / Fundraising Pamphlet for the “Benefit of Relief Fire Co. No. 2” in Pitcairn PA. It is 7 pages of front & back advertisements, the payment of which was considered donation towards the costing of putting on the play. The play was “Followed by Fate”, “a melodrama in 4 acts, under the direction of C. E. McConnel. In The I. O. O. F. Auditorium. 3rd street Pitcairn PA, ON. Some of the donation amounts are listed below the ads. There are multiple advertisements from long gone local businesses from Pitcairn Pennsylvania, and the surrounding region. Some of the businesses listed also had locations in Pittsburgh as well as other PA towns & cities. It is a fascinating look back at the life & business relations of a bygone time. I am honestly unsure the exact year this was printed, they gave the date of the play - Sunday February 13th afternoon & evening as well as Monday Evening February 15th, but of course no year. I assume right around the turn of the century, based on the designs and aging. It would be a great piece for framing either together or as separate pages. It could also be used for an art piece, scrapbook, historical display, and much more! A fantastic piece for any of the local businesses in the Advertising that may still be around, or a gift for a local collector.

It has some wear and aging, as can be easily seen. The previous owner had an overwhelming estate of ephemera and antiques, and they separated the pages and placed them in this binder to protect them. I have not tried to remove any of the pages for fear of causing any damage. Removal and conservation or means of display is the buyers responsibility.

Thank you for your consideration, reasonable offers always considered. Comes as shown, please see photos for details and measurements. Comes packed with care, insured in shipment.
