Description

The listing, 51pcs of Antique Paper Ephemera has ended.

Winner gets all 51 pieces of antique paper ephemera...ALL are dated between 1860's-1890's...
Also included are the two old photos shown in last pic to add support to the bubble mailer...They are undated...
I didn't feel like taking individual pics of all, so just did a few of the highlights of the bunch...
As these are well over 100 years old, do not expect they are mint condition....Conditions very, with creases, small tears, age spots, etc.....However, they are not so brittle that they fall apart at the slightest touch, but do handle with care....
These come from a box lot I won at a local auction years ago....No ancestors of mine..
Nice lot of paperwork from a time before you were born....Good Luck!

Questions & Comments

Looks like my kind of lot. Something about old paper, especially 19th century handwritten letters.

I'm not surprised at all to see you bidding on this :)
There was just kind of an eerie elegance to penmanship then that has pretty much disappeared...
