AP Teletype on WWII
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Original AP teletype dated 29 August 1945, just days before the formal ending of World War II. Teletype reports on the impending Japanese surrender with unabated glory: ''…A great Allied fleet at battle stations ready to crush any attempt at treachery waited only for mine sweepers to finish their task before steaming triumphantly into Tokyo Bay Tuesday…'' Also mentions the possibility of using atomic weaponry to battle hurricanes and much more worldwide news. 8'' x 13'' four page document, on two sheets, is in very good condition.
