Military Cards - Set of 2 Larger PictureLarger PictureRescued from an estate sale, I have a pair of cards just waiting to be turned into art! One pictures the '75mm Skysweeper' anti-aircraft gun. The back proclaims 'Defenders of America' and has a short paragraph about the gun pictured on the front. Below that it says that this is 'No. 20 in series of twenty-four cards' put out by the National Biscuit Company - better known as Nabisco. The other is a postcard with a black and white picture of the 'Army and Navy Masonic Service Center' from somewhere in Oklahoma. It has no writing on the back - just the standard postcard markings. Click the 'larger pictures' buttons for better views of the fronts and backs. $1.50 for both. I have 1 set only.Military Cards - Set of 2 $1.50 | Old Birthday Cards for Kids - Set of 3 Larger PictureLarger PictureThese are three old birthday cards for kids, from 1950s or earlier. They are celebrate a child turning 4, 7, and 9 years old respectively. They even come with handwritten 'Grandma and Grandpa' signatures - meaning they were actually sent to someone.

US Postage Stamps - Misc This is a little pack of 10 cancelled U.S. postage stamps. They will vary from the scan (I have lots!) but all 10 will be different. (If you order more than one, expect a few duplicates though.) They are all still stuck on paper, but you could steam them loose. The newest I've found among them is a 32¢ stamp from 1991. The oldest go back to the 1950s at least. Many are from the 1970s and 80s. You can get anything in a set: flags, Christmas stamps, famous people, Olympics, airmail, flowers, birds, etc. You get 10 different stamps for 25¢.US Postage Stamps - Misc $0.25 | Atlas Pages Some time back I acquired an old, coffee table atlas - with huge 11" X 18" [or there about] pages. It was from 1970 though - interesting, but useless for helping my kids with their geography lessons. The Soviet Union was still in one piece, Yugoslavia still existed, and some of the countries in Africa had not yet gained independence. Rather than throw it out, I decided to recycle it. I'm now offering 'half' pages [about 8.5" X 11" give or take a bit] at 5 for $1. You will get 5 half pages with maps on both sides. I will try to honor requests for specific parts of the world [Europe, Asia, etc.] but I can't promise I'll be able to fulfill them. And remember, these pages need to be treated for acidity if you are concerned about such things.Atlas Pages $1.00 |
US Stamps: Presidents and Flags This is like the Misc U.S. stamp grab bag - they are all old cancelled stamps from between the 1950s and 1991. Most are from the 1970s and 1980s. This set, however, is just stamps featuring U.S. presidents or U.S. flags. If you order more than one set of this kind, you are almost guaranteed to have duplicates, but there will be no two alike in any single pack of 10. Lots of fun for just 25¢.US Stamps: Presidents and Flags $0.25 | US Stamps: Christmas Stamps A grab bag of 10 US Christmas stamps from between the 1950s and 1991, with most being from the 1970s and 80s.

You will get 10 different Christmas stamps in each pack, though if you order more than one you will likely get a duplicate or two. Just 25¢ for some tiny collage fun. Great for shrines and ATCs!US Stamps: Christmas Stamps $0.25 |
Cornell University Booklet Larger PictureLarger PictureLarger PictureThis is an employee handbook for Cornell University. The last page says it is from December 1952. It is entitled "You and Cornell: Helpful Information for Cornell Employees". It is in good shape, with nothing written it it and no creases or loose pages. The emergency phone numbers given inside the front cover have exchanges like 'Ithaca 3491' - this was before area codes! It has a map of the campus across two pages in the center and lots of cute cartoon style illustrations [I show just two of them in the additional pics, there are more!] Fun!
