Sometimes the items that seem ordinary on the surface tend to be overlooked, and may end up stored away in a basement or barn, or even worse, lost to history in a landfill. While we feature all kinds of hard to find items from Silverware to Swag Lamps, we specialize paper ephemera. Advertising, brochures, leaflets, photographs and art are just a few of the many types of items that we find and try to pair with a relevant buyer. This type of everyday item from the past can be crucial to genealogy research and historical preservation.
