Goldfield, Nevada, 1907. Unbound. Very good. An exceptionally rare $5 labor strike note was issued by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or Wobblies) during the Goldfield, Nevada miners' strike. It measures 7¼" x 3¼". Almost no wear; a dot of black ink at the tip of the upper left corner. Labor conflict came to Goldfield in the early 1900s when the Western Miners Union, an IWW affiliate, began to fight the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor (AFL), for control of mining labor. The Carpenters had a history of cordial relationships with Goldfield's mines and legitimate businesses in the region. The IWW, a revolutionary union dedicated to the overthrow of capitalism, allied itself with the region's saloon keepers and gambling houses, openly supporting the systematic theft of high-grade ore by miners as they exited work each day, and most of the stolen gold was spent on whiskey and card-playing. Additionally, the IWW tried to force all…

Various, 1948. Album. Very good. This heavy album measures approximately 11" x 14" x 2". It was likely compiled by Robert C. Bruce, Jr. to preserve the memory of his father. It contains over 115 pages loaded with around 150 photographs (ranging in size from 3½" x 5" to 10" x 13", theater programs, newspaper clippings, magazine articles, movie advertisements and more. In nice shape with a sound binding and amateurish repairs at the head of the spine covering. Some of the newspaper articles are toned and torn where they cover two adjacent pages. Robert Cameron Bruce may well be the most important little-remembered pioneering filmmaker, perfecting the art of outdoor cinematography. Originally from Vermont, Bruce moved to the west coast to open a commercial apple orchard in White Salmon, Washington in 1910. While there, he became a 'camera fiend," inspired by the dramatic scenery that surrounded him. After a crop failure in 1914, Bruce hired a budding cinematographer, who knew a little more about…
