   This is a little known "yellow journalism rag" from the late 1800s with a  story of Herman Webster Mudgett, better known as Dr. Henry Howard Holmes or H. H. Holmes, was an American serial killer. While he confessed to 27 murders, he was convicted and sentenced to death for only one murder, that of accomplice and business partner Benjamin Pitezel. Also disasters, theft, murder and mayhem with a spattering of hero worship for police and firemen. There have only been a few issues to survive and sold.  There is no publisher listed how ever it was published at the corner of William and Spruce, the same address as the famous Robert Bonner's "NEW YORK LEDGER" building.  Please look at the video closely it is the best description we can offer.

Once these are gone how long before you will see them come up again. Once a collector buys them they go right back into a vault somewhere.

     We always take into consideration a customers history of buying from us when addressing "BEST OFFER" option. We will respond to you within the allotted time but if it has just been listed we will give it the full time period to allow others to make similar offers or purchase. We list many, many items that may be "One of a kind" or simply "One of a kind on the market".

If you collect, you realize that is a once in a lifetime occurrence for collectors.....
