"What fun! Here is my submission to your humorous bookplate contest.
I'm
doing this early so that I don't forget about it. I have no idea
who
created this bookplate because I can't make out the signature.
However, it
looks to be dated 1920 in the plate at the bottom"
Comment from Richard Schimmelpfeng
"Lew: the monogram is that of Willi Kadletz, b. 1895. One source says Austrian, another says German - take your Pick. I like it."

"Dear Lew,
This is not an entry to your contest.
It is a very humorous pencil signed proof by Samuel Hollyer from my inventory.
The cost is $ 50.00 plus postage (subject to prior sale)
Best Regards,
Tom "
