Advertising Ephemera & Signs
Webster Dictionary defines Ephemera as “something of no lasting significance” or “ephemera plural: paper items (as posters, broadsides, and tickets) that were originally meant to be discardeduse but have since become collectibles”. But let me tell you…
Our Ephemera is not fleeting or non-lasting. Both booths have postcard carousels with a plethora of postcards. We have advertising print, books, brochures, carton hangers, documents, letterheads, magazines, paper wrappers, pamphlets, photographs, postcards, receipts, stamps, trade cards, and many more ephemeral pieces over 100 years old. These pieces sell fast and new stock is added so you never know what you will find.
