Sweet! I know exactly where York is. (I lived in Philly for 4 years, so somewhat familiar with PA too). I was looking for a Saturday activity. Do you have any more info on the event?

Frank DeFreitas commented on VoteAudrey's blog post 'Off to Charm City'

If you're going to arrive before this weekend, there is a major annual postcard event being held in York, PA (Nov. 20th and 21st). York is definitely within straight-through driving distance of Baltimore.

Frank, your wife sounds like a busy lady! And a saint! David, what a great opportunity! I'm heading to the post office later today and will gladly send some your way.

Audrey, I echo Frank. As a veteran and artist, I will soon be teaching returning veterans (suffering with PTSD) about how to create mail art as an aid to recovery. I would be very happy to distribute some of these to participants. Please. Dubé O...

Off to Charm City

I'm off to Baltimore for a couple weeks and curious - any good ephemera spots? I actually lived there a couple years back (although only for a few months) but ephemera wasn't on my radar then so I am clueless! Thanks in advance for the help.

That's a very nice gesture. My wife supports over 100 charities a month, and veteran-related services are high on that list.

The Typewriter: Champion of Ephemera

Second only perhaps the printing press itself, no other machine has created more ephemera than the typewriter. From personal correspondence to shipping and receiving -- and everything in between. Almost magically, the typewriter is making a comeb...

Could you do that Bill? My 'thing' is putting my art work on old commercial paper. See my web site: oldpaperart.blogspot.com I saw a piece of USPCC paper a couple of months ago, as it was in a lot of Cincinnati paper on eBay. I would certainly sta...

Bill Gosling commented on Mike Ferguson's group 'Playing Cards'

Dave, I am not sure who made this deck as there is no definite mention in the work I referenced. Based on the box remnant, it is one of several manufacturers active at that time. You ask specifically who else made these cards, and I want to be cle...

Dave Dubé commented on Mike Ferguson's group 'Playing Cards'

Bill, Could you possibly tell me who else besides the United States Playing Card Company made these decks?

Bill Gosling commented on Mike Ferguson's group 'Playing Cards'

The deck you found is one of a series described in the "Hochman Encyclopedia of American Playing Cards". [More on that in a moment] It is one of ten beauiful card backs for Edison Mazda designed by Maxfield Parrish. "There are different jokers and...

Dave Dubé commented on Mike Ferguson's group 'Maps and Related'

Mike - it's only you, but I'm looking for two maps: One would be a decent map of the coastal area near Danang, Vietnam. I'd also like to find a map of a Japanese port city, and I really don't care which one as long as the legends are in Kanji. I'v...

ExileBibliophile commented on Susan Mac Gregor's group 'Postcards Vintage'

They look like the little cards you'd find in little mini folders as travel souvenirs. They often recycle images used on postcards, but are not really postcards. No comment on rarity.
