The best ebay find I found was that Byberry in house magiazine that's in the site. I've been wanting to find other in house magazines but they are extremely hard to find outside the state archives.

Yeah, I found a whole bunch of pamphlets and magazines from Harrisburg State Hospital when I was at the archives. It's a good thing their security was good in there

Now that the book is safely on it's way to me I will share with everyone what I was determined to win...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110525159308&ssPageName=STRK:ME...

I really wasn't trying to be an ass or anything by not saying what it was earlier. It's just that I have been looking for this book for about 3 years now and I was willing to spend what ever it took to make it mine. So I didn't want to get into a bidding war with anyone on here. I will be sure to add some pictures from it to the database once I get it all scanned.

Congrats on the good find & great price! I don't go near anything that's PA related since I figure if anyone bids it's probably you or Soldat, same for WV stuff & WSH. I've been lazy about checking ebay for a while though.

I've been lazy too (plus eBay is firewalled at the office). I used to be pretty hardcore and got into quite a few bidding wars with Karen (Kaba) over Mass. cards!

Yeesh, don't remind me of her, I recall several angry messages from her after she lost a couple items!

Toledo, this one came with the glass negative for some reason.

Nice Pontiac card!

There have been quite a few nice cards on eBay lately, some that I have never seen before. There have been quite a few from Hudson, some bi-folds, and a few multi card sets.

I lucked into an 1880 Danville State Hospital report yesterday. I think it was just posted as I logged on because it still had almost a full 7 days on the counter. I snatched that up real quick!

Time to add some more, I still haven't been checking ebay.

Bolivar State Hospital (TN)

Another Clarinda, definitely not a rare view.

Columbus Feeble-Minded School next to the asylum, despite what it says on the card. Unfortunately it never wants to scan right

Some new (AND RARE!) purchases...

First up, a 3 postcard landscape view of Danville State Hospital from around the beginning of the 20th century.

Second, another Danville postcard with some workers posing for a pic (notice the guy sitting on the ladder).

And last but not least, everyone's favorite building at Norristown State Hospital.

I love that Danville landscape. If it wasn't for those bend marks/lines I'd make that into a poster!

I never seen that postcard of Norristown before and find it interesting the building is miss labeled as the Administration building.

I thought that was odd as well. I don't really know too much about Norristown, but I didn't think the admin ever moved out of the original building.
