Made for a pharmaceutical company, not sure when. I imagine they were given to hypochondriacs who they needed to usher out of the office…

EDIT - Now claimed. Thank you all.

Lots of different bits and pieces, including plenty of vintage. To me it's all very special and desirable but I realise that taste is subjective! I just want it to go to someone who will appreciate it, whether it's to be used for journalling/mixed media art or just kept and admired. I will happily post to anywhere in the world. This is NOT a selling post - I am looking for nothing in return.

Snagged these awhile back to frame, two pin-up samplers from a sales book, probably for calendars and other advertising items for your business.

Thought this was a pretty cool vintage find.

First, a small paper bag from 1954 bearing the letter postage rate in effect at the time. Next, a child's birthday card from 1947. Then, several food ration coupons from 1945 and 1946. Followed by a membership card for a coal dealers' association from 1946. Finally, a collectible card featuring a scene from Venice.

I omitted peoples names for privacy even though it's nearly 30 years old at this point.

Just received these from Japan. A four piece set of Asahi beer labels and four shoulder labels. I think they have to be from 1920-1940? Definitely going to frame them.🎏🇯🇵

I apologize if this isn’t the right place to post this, but I’m baffled and am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction if not answer my questions.

I found this 1930s Art Deco “sweetheart card” among my parents’ photos and mementos. There was no name on the envelope, and the only handwritten inscription inside says “From Dad.” The envelope was sealed and opened it at the side seam.

I’m trying to understand the social context of that signature. In the 1930s, would “Dad” have been a common term for a father to use when signing a card, or would “Father” have been more typical in writing?

Also, could this have been from a husband to his wife rather than from a parent to a child. The image seems “off” if it’s to a child. Would a man in the 1930s ever sign a romantic card to his wife simply as “Dad,” I mean assuming they had children?

I’d love any insight from people familiar with vintage greeting cards, family correspondence, or 1930s American social customs.

Purchased at a local antique store for $3, taped closed. I had hoped that the illustrations inside would match the fabulous 70s cover, but sadly not! I do love the charming doodles and notes from whichever child had this once upon a time. I desaturated a few of the clean pages in case anyone wanted to give coloring a shot!

Both Grandmas went to business school

As a lover of Void cats and quality design, I was determined to find a box of these matches. I smile every time I pass ‘em in my house. Also attaching a picture of Silly Kimmy Kittens (cat tax).

Found this tiny treasure years ago in thrift store luggage. It’s about 1” in diameter.

Our 1950s basement flooded earlier this summer and we’re getting read to completely gut it so proper drainage can be installed. A little sad to see the old cabinets in the utility room go.

I found my dad's duffel bag from his time in the U.S. Air Force. He was stationed in Korea in the 70s and this luggage tag was still attached.

Just picked up this February 1935 American Boy cover art by Anton Otto Fischer. I love old magazine cover arts, especially pulpy / action oriented ones. Picked this up for $13 and happy to add it to my collection!
