Description You are bidding on a very good to excellent condition vintage 1959 magazine 1-color advertisement from NORTHWEST ENGINEERING CO. featuring a NORTHWEST 80-D SHOVEL WORKING FOR RAMONA STONE CO. This ad was carefully removed from a 1959 issue of a popular construction industry magazine. Page size is approximately 8” wide x 11” high, and is ideal for framing. DESCRIPTION: ”OUTPUT - HOW DO YOU FIGURE IT? -BY THE HOUR -BY THE DAY -OR BY THE MONTH.” Nicely illustrated with a b&w photo of a NORTHWEST 80-D SHOVEL owned by RAMONA STONE CO. loading shot rock into what looks like perhaps an I-H Pay Hauler, with a railroad trestle in the background. CONDITION: This outstanding NORTHWEST magazine advertisement is in very good to excellent condition. Printed on excellent quality low gloss paper, much better than many ads of this era. The only imperfections that I see, are that 1) the paper has yellowed slightly from 49 years of age; and 2) the bottom right corner has a small fold ... otherwise this ad would be close to ‘perfect’ ... almost as good as the day it was printed. Excellent photo, extremely clean, no tears or marks, excellent edges except as noted, no mildew or water damage, and has been in excellent dry storage for many years. ”SAMPLE” will not appear on the actual ad, it is only on the scanned image. SHIPPING & HANDLING: Winning bidder to pay $3.00 S&H via USPS FIRST-CLASS MAIL PACKAGE rate (non-machinable). I USUALLY MAIL ONLY ON TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS, unless you have a special request. Your item will be mailed FLAT, carefully packed in a double envelope with a cardboard stiffener in the inner envelope ... the cardboard stiffener makes it non-machinable but assures you it will arrive in excellent condition. Optional postal insurance is $1.70, available in the U.S. only. I am happy to mail WORLD WIDE. Outside the U.S. will be at the FIRST CLASS MAIL INTERNATIONAL rate plus $1.50 packing cost. I will be glad to combine with other auction wins to keep your mailing cost at a minimum ... 2 or more items can usually be mailed for the cost of one!
