I have a  collection of 150 different papers  necessary to construct
an automobile MINERVA and some advertising, photographs, catalogue
instruction manual
as you can see on scans, their logo was a beautyfull head of the
goddess Minerva which was on all automobiles on their motor roof.
Known all over the world.  It was very dandy to have a Minerva that
time.
This is a tremendous archive of all kind of papers related to a very
well known auto old timer.  It was a Belgian Model factory and many
rich people owned one.   All "unique  paper survivals of beginning
technology.  All different , very good condition, because they had to
be examples to refer to order new items (invoices, envelopes ) to
printer-industry , (and maybe rectify), perhaps Minerva had is own
printing facility !   These are all the documents : envelopes, labels,
sacs, note-paper, invoices, credit-notes and all you can imagine to be
used in the factory to distribute the work to the workers, giving them
composition parts and folow-up all events.  All those artifacts have
the logo of Minerva on them.  Also some photographs in the hall and
from a fetivity. 
this should be used by a museum to show how a factory worked in 1935
it could be used for a case-study in a university program, how in 1935
work was ruled and administrated
furthermore this is unique because Minerva was the only surviving
automobile company for many years and this is the accountability
leftover to eventually RESTART the company because they went bankrupt
and also that is very well documented through all the letters to
lawyers.  The archive is complete and it is a pile of 20 centimeters.
I can show you items if you use my email cadres to log in to
Messenger.
I guaranty the authenticity of this pile and the completeness of the
collection
