DAVE BOWERS AND THE ENDWELL-UNION COMPANYDave Lange submitted these notes on a recent acquisition of numismatic ephemera. -Editor  A recent purchase on eBay for me was a very choice example of the Ticker and Treasure coin album from 1963-65. I usually avoid all-plastic items in my album collecting, but the cleverness of this gadget always intrigues me. The lot came with a premium list catalog I'd never seen before. The name Endwell-Union Company stuck out in my mind as something associated with Dave Bowers years ago. Sure enough when I looked up his bio in Pete Smith's book I found that business listed for the years 1959-60. The catalog I have is dated 1960, and it must be a pretty rare item if it has eluded me until now.  Correct. Those are indeed rare. I've been fortunate to acquire three different examples over the years for my numismatic ephemera collection, all dated 1960. Dave Lange's example is in better condition than any of mine. -Editor Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
