Welcome to Classic Nevada.
This is your site to order products on, about or
from Nevada. We have books about or from
Nevada, CDs containing images and tales about
old mining towns, reprints of long unavailable
material, postcards and more. We even offer
bricks from the Goldfield Hotel, art from or
inspired by the desert, Woven Aluminum Folkart
by the late Slim Sirnes as well as other Western
and Nevada Artists.. We have designed a very
user friendly store for you to see all of the great
items we have available. More items are added
all the time, so please visit often and check out
what's new.
The heart of ClassicNevada is the Historic mining
town of Goldfield, Nevada. Goldfield was, at
one time, the largest city in Nevada with a
population of over 25,000 people. It is located
180 miles North of Las Vegas on a two lane
paved road that links Las Vegas to Reno and
Northern Nevada to Southern Nevada. In
December 1902, two prospectors, Harry Stimler
and Billy March found Gold just West of town.
Goldfield became known as “Queen of the
Mining Camps” because of its population,
saloons, and other forms of luxury and
“Entertainment” such as gambling and the “ladies
of the evening.”
We show our appreciation of Goldfield by
supporting the town and publicizing events and
institutions like "Goldfield Days" in August and the
Esmeralda County School District year round.

| There are a lot of new books and CDs that are now available or else, soon will be, here at ClassicNevada. If you would like to get notice of our new offerings as they hit the shelves, please sign up on our contact page by adding "ALERT" to the subject line of your message. We will let you know the latest info on our offerings as they come online. Much of our material is not available at any other place and we are glad to provide it to you either as books, booklets, cds or any future media that might come up. The technology of the past can help us to live in a better future because we can learn from them, both what to correct and what to keep. One of the partners of this Website has now retired and she is busier than ever with research, scanning and photographing important documents and other material. This means that in the future, there will be even MORE material for you to mine! |
| Nevada Telephone & Telegraph Company Phone Books 15 Volumes from 1906 – 1927 ClassicNevada is pleased to announce the availability of a CD that contains the complete JPEG images of 15 assorted years of the Nevada Telephone & Telegraph Company Phone Books. These documents have been scanned in their entirety and include all of the contents of this original source material from the years of 1906, 1907, 1908, 1911, 1912, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1918, 1921, 1923, 1924, 1926 & 1927 (one year had two printings) and contains the phone numbers, names, and in some cases, the address, of all phone subscribers in the boom towns of Tonopah, Goldfield, Manhattan & Rhyolite. These are invaluable to researchers, genealogists and western and mining history buffs. Until you can painstakingly assemble your own collection of these rare books, take advantage of our lucky find! They were on their way to being tossed out as old garbage in mid 2007 when an astute collector saw them. After saving them from oblivion, he showed them to us and agreed to make them available to you! He penned the following dedication that appears on the CD… "These telephone directories were rescued from a trash pile. Their preservation is dedicated to the memory of the early residents of Goldfield who helped make Nevada what it is today." L. Wadsworth, January 2008 Go to the Classicnevada store to order your copy now!! |
| Stories of the ART CAR "RECYCLED": The Aluminum Folk Art Truck Created by Slim Sirnes. Compiled and Edited by S. Sirnes Artlip & N. Sirnes. This is a series of Articles written by Svein "Slim" Sirnes which appeared in the Goldfield Gazette, Death Valley News and other central Nevada Newspaper in which his popular "Slim Sez" article appeared for many years. These stories deal with some of the travels and tribulations encountered by a retired Millwright when he becomes a "woven aluminum" artist with an Art Truck. Proceeds from this book are being used to pay for repairs to the truck that will make it trip worthy once again. Please be advised that while Slim wrote a great story, his grammar and spelling left a lot to be desired. Only minor changes were made to the original stories, otherwise, what you see is what he wrote! |
