The Watchtower Collector's Archives

This is the LARGEST store on EARTH that is completely dedicated to trading Watchtower Society antiques and collectables. Here you can find almost every historic publication, and build the library of your dreams!

If you collect old literature, this is the GREATEST store you will ever visit!!!

WHY ARE WE HERE? I am passionate about my theocratic library, and over the years I have found that this is true of many others. The problem is, no one knows where to find the old stuff that's missing from their collection. I'm talking about those really old, really historic books that you read about in the Proclaimer's book. (Like the Daily Manna birthday book on page 201; the Herald of the Morning articles on page 620; the Old Theology Quarterly tracts on page 557; and so much more!) I WANTED TO SEE THESE BOOKS, to add them to my collection, to hold history in my hands! So I opened this store as a way for me to fill the holes in my library, and help you to find the really RARE stuff you thought you could never add to your collection as well! How is that possible? Read on...

WE ARE HERE TO TRADE WITH YOU! This store is not designed to sell a ton of books. It is actually created with a specific purpose. You see, over the years I have come across a LOT of old, antique books. I have collected them for longer than I can remember. This hobby has allowed me to form a lot of connections in the antique book collecting world. So I can find a lot of the rare ones, including the greatest antique books of all- Watchtower society items. The result? I have built the library of my dreams, covering the entire history of the organization from the 1800's to the modern day. BUT IT IS NOT COMPLETE! I still have some VERY difficult to fill holes in my collection. How do I fill them? By trading with you. We love to trade, and are open to any proposals. But we find that many people want items we have available but don't have anything we want, or they have what we are looking for, but aren't interested in any books in trade. The answer: We buy from MANY places and offer the books we don't need in this store. You buy what you need here, and we use the funds to buy what we need in our library.  

WHAT DO WE SELL? We have the most extensive collection of theocratic items available anywhere. Books, booklets, magazines and brochures- if you are missing it in your collection, if you read about it in a Watchtower article or the Proclaimer's book, if you saw one once in an old sister's home, and you want to own it too- this is the place to look.

WHAT WE DO NOT SELL: This is an apostate literature free zone, so don't even ask if we have any or if we want any. We also do NOT buy or sell any item that could be obtained from the Kingdom Hall literature counter, or any item that is considered current spiritual food, or any item that is still used in the ministry, still printed by the society, or still studied at the Kingdom hall or used in conducting home bible studies. We believe it is wrong to profit from that which is intended to be given free. This store includes ONLY old antique collectable items that are long since updated and out of print, like any other antique and collectables store.

COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL: We obey Caesar's laws. While we have reproduced some of the REALLY rare items from our personal collection and made them available for just pennies on the dollar, this is done in FULL compliance with all copyright laws. We will not reproduce anything illegally, and if it is brought to our attention that anything in this store is improperly copied, we will IMMEDIATELY remove it.

WE DO NOT ADVERTISE THIS STORE and do not want Kingdom Halls, Convention or Assembly places used as a place to sell or conduct business, or theocratic contacts exploited for financial gain. So please do not advertise for us in such places.

WE HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY SELECTED AS AN EBAY POWER SELLER!

This is no small honor! It is given to sellers who, over a period of time, have proven themselves to have the highest standard of honesty, and have gained an excellent reputation among the ebay community. Power Sellers are re-examined every month, and every time they have renewed this honor for us!

Some of the treasures you can find at the Watchtower Collector's Archives...

Millennial Dawn and Studies in the Scriptures- These are the most desired books by the great majority of collectors. The history behind them is amazing, and to own a set is the dream of every witness.

Early writing of Charles Taze Russell- The Society's founder wrote some very important articles during his early days for several journals and publications. We have almost all of them!

Historic conventions- We have actual recordings of the famous conventions and discourses that made history! Hear Rutherford, Franz, Knorr, MacMillian and more, recorded live during the 1930's, 40's and 50's at places like Yankee Stadium, Polo Grounds, Cedar Point Ohio, London's Royal Albert Hall, St Louis and more!

ORIGINAL PUBLICATIONS:

We have a wide variety of antique society books, booklets, tracts and bibles that we have acquired at auctions, shops, sales and in trade. The prices are determined by what we have to pay to get them. Remember, this line of collectables is among the most difficult to find, and they never come cheap, even to us. We have spent hundreds of dollars on some items. These are all original, and many are VERY rare items that may never appear on the store again! This inventory changes every day as books come and go forever, so don't wait if you see one you want- it may be gone tomorrow!

 REPRODUCTIONS:

Some items are just too difficult to find, and once we come upon them, we don't want to let them go. There may be only a few of them in existence any more, so the average collector has no hope of adding it to his library. The solution? We have produced some reproductions of the rarest items. These are often actual photographic images of the original pages, bound together to be hard to distinguish from the actual original. Others are reformatted to fit into the booklet, and are authentic reprints made from the original text. ALL are done without removing or changing a single word, and in compliance with all copyright laws.

PUBLICATIONS ON CD ROM:

We offer a full collection of computer CD's with the rare publications on them in PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader) form. The software to open, view, zoom, and print these files is free from the manufacturer's website. These discs are great for the person who wants a LOT of old publications from the 1930's and back, but doesn't want to spend the thousands of dollars that it took for us to purchase all of the originals. For between $4 and $8 bucks a disc, you can relive the early history of the truth, right from your computer. 

These CD's are the originals, not the rip offs that have appeared on eBay. Some sellers have stolen our CD's and illegally reproduced them, saying they are public domain. These sellers are lying, plain and simple. Our original software, including the scans and PDF files are fully protected by copyright law and those who take them and sell them as their own are breaking the law, no matter what they try to claim. We will not tolerate theft, and action is pending. 

 SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Visit our store and enter a new world of Watchtower Society history!
