Available is a rare, original twelve page Chicago Herald American from September 28, 1940. The front page contains a huge bold headline announcing the Axis pact between Japan, Nazi Germany and Italy which alarmed the world. The front page also announces that the Detroit Tigers have won the 1940 American League pennant by defeating Cleveland Indians pitching boy wonder and rookie Bob Feller by a score of 2-0. The front page of the sports section (page 9) contains a bold banner headline announcing pennant winning game by the Tigers. The page also contains a fantastic illustration featuring Hank Greenberg and Rudy York.


Condition

These newspaper pages are in very good condition. However, the pages should still be treated as delicate and handled with care upon receipt. These newspaper pages originally came from a bound library volume and may exhibit slight chipping and paper loss on the edges. Additional minor paper loss could occur during shipment.

Domestic Shipping

The pages will be placed in a clear plastic sleeve and gently rolled and inserted into a sturdy cardboard tube. Single newspaper pages can be shipped via First Class Mail. Please specify if expedited Priority Mail is desired. I will combine shipping but additional newspaper pages may require Priority Mail shipping due to total package weight.

International Shipping

I can ship several pages using First Class International Postage. Any additional pages may require Priority Mail International shipping depending on total package weight. 

Multiple Purchases and Combined Shipping

I do combine shipping. If you purchase multiple items from my "Buy It Now" inventory, please add each item to your cart on the listing home page and when finished check out and request a total from me.

If you win multiple auctions, please don't pay for each item individually. I will send you an invoice with a combined shipping amount for all of your auction wins once they are completed.
