Add to basketNewspaper. Condition: Very Good. A set of three newspaper items from the early 20th century from the legendary boomtown, Tombstone, Arizona. Includes the Arizona Kicker newspaper from August, 1909, a planning mock-up and a newsstand placard, both for said newspaper. The "Arizona Kicker" newspaper is an issue from August 1909, fi…rst published by Stanley C. Bagg in 1893 as the midweek edition of the "Tombstone Prospector" newspaper. William Hattich took over the "Tombstone Prospector" and with it, the "Arizona Kicker," in 1895. From that point the "Arizona Kicker" was issued irregularly until 1909. Item 1: "Arizona Kicker" newspaper has 8 pages, is 15" tall and has black text and illustrations. Pages are not numbered and the two leaves laid in the newspaper have the same content (duplicates). It is in very good condition with browning to all pages and moderate chipping on edges of first page and light chipping to edges on all other pages. The headline of the August, 1909 issue was "We Have Been Sued," and other stories include "The Kicker Rules," "Musicale in Godless Gulch" and many more. Item 2: A planning mock-up for the "Arizona Kicker," a scarce item. The mock-up is 16 1/2" tall, 34 pages, and is in good condition. The mock-up has some pages with stories (or cuts) tipped in while some pages are not complete. The first page has many tears around all edges with an ink stain across the center of the page. All other pages are in good condition with light chipping and browning. The issued associated with this planning mock-up is unknown. The mock-up has the headline story (cut 1) being called "We are sued" with a cartoon that has many similarities to the cartoon found in the August 1909 issue, but the rest of the content doesn't coincide with the 1909 issue. Item 3: Blue newsstand placard with black text, 11" wide by 5" tall. It is in very good condition with moderate chipping and dampstains to right corner. There is no date associated with this placard, but it reads "Arizona Kicker, You want it! Subscriptions taken here." The price for a subscription was "50 cts for 3 months" or "$2 per annum.".
