This was a big day for ephemera and photos.
Do you know what this is? I did, and I was happy to pay $2 for it because they're about $45 new. I like the mid century industrial look of this one. (It's a yarn winder.)

I got this for Pat. He loves stuff like this.
|
Hmm...this doesn't look like a list of narcotics dispensed. Too bad.
|
These are probably African, maybe old. I just like them.
|
A framed certificate to add to Pat's collection. It says "Pam Claspill, 1959" on the back. The katekana characters on the left could be a Western name.
|
A couple of movie stills.
|
|
I got a box of miscellaneous postcards and photos from a guy for $15. Most of the postcards were uninteresting German travel ones like these...
|
...but there were some gems like this one
|
and this one.
|
A lot of great photos, too.
|
I covet his shirt.
|
I love everything about this picture - their dresses, their hairstyles, their sweet expressions.
|
Almost every one of these kids looks kind of uneasy. Were they scared of the guy on the left? Or just tired of posing?
|
I remember getting my fingers pinched by a horsie like this one.
|
|
|
Back when basketball players wore shorts, not skirts like they do today. Darn kids.
|
Pat was sad that this guy's head was cut off because he was so intrigued by his shirt. It looks like something a hipster would be wearing now, not of the same era as his car or his wife and child's clothes.
|
Girls, girls, girls.
|
|
What's that in the background, nuclear cooling towers?

From another vendor, restaurant ephemera. A chef's letter of recommendation.
