    Description

    GENTLEMEN & LADIES, if you are a collector of  great and rare and highly collectible East Coast of Florida-related memorabilia, particularly from Brevard County, and especially from Eau Gallie, which, some years ago, incorporated itself into Melbourne, this very rare and completely unique letter written by E. A. W. Stewart to the great William Gleason some time in 190? is for you and it is that rare, unusual and unique. Seriously. This incredible piece is now at least 122 years old and is as "rare as hen's teeth."
    William Gleason is one of the most important but at the same time, most overlooked persons in Florida history (google "William Gleason Florida lieutenant governor") and this very rare piece addressed to Mr. Gleason will be shipped VERY HEAVILY protected so as to insure safe arrival  and without damage to this very valuable piece of Florida correspondence. Anything of or from the Sullivan store alone is a great Sunshine State collectible in its own right! Folks, this great Florida piece
    will certainly make a wonderful gift for any collector of rare and rarely seen items of this type and kind or as a great addition to YOUR collection, or as a gift to the Florida history or local museum nearest you or to a museum of your choice and I will bet dollars to donuts that they do not have this incredible item!
    I am certain that our friends at the various museums and historical societies as well as the numerous collectors plus those interested in material such as this will want this rare lot, being offered with a VERY modest min bid and no reserve.
    We suggest you BID EARLY AND BID OFTEN!
    We will ship this rare letter as you see it, VERY heavily protected with strong packaging, our shipping prowess well known to our legions of satisfied buyers. I know that you can and do understand (COPY?!!) that, as with all china, silver, photos, negatives, postcards, timetables and paper items that we sell, this rare lot is NON-returnable and NON-refundable, so PLEASE be sure to e-mail any ?? you have PRE-bidding.  As a famous and beloved personage would have said, "fascinating," and as Billy Crystal would say, "this letter is gaw-giss, dahing, gaw-giss!"  This is a super find for any collector of historic items of this type as well as those collecting regional memorabilia, information or material in general from that genre or era. There is NO reserve on this piece and a modest minimum bid.  Pkg/ship/USPS tracking is .95 (That amount for US only, more overseas or to Canada) so BID EARLY AND BID OFTEN! AND, YES, WE WILL COMBINE SHIPPING ON ANYTHING THAT YOU WIN! As "Kramer" would say on "Seinfeld," "Oh, mama, this is one great and rare very early 20th century piece of Floridiana, Jerry!"  THANKS for looking--and bidding--and be sure to check out all of our other sexy, unique and interesting items (and even those that aren't so sexy, may be somewhat mundane or even rather uninteresting) here on EBAY.  (We do accept other forms of payment so if you would like to use a method other than those shown, don't hesitate to contact us.)  YES, WE DO AND WILL COMBINE SHIPPING!
