Interest in Ephemera

Collector, Dealer

About Me:

Gejus and I go way back to the days when neither of us knew that there was another person across the pond that liked collecting secondary use playing cards as much as each of us did individually. Then a mutual contact put us together and since then we have been great friends, and Gejus is not only a great and fine friend but even a really nice guy to boot. And sometimes even an avid competitor on occassion in the early days, but now we both always try to help the other one out in our collecting interests.

I myself have collected American paint decorated furniture and folk art for three plus decades, and ephemera for about half that time. Like the antiques, I prefer the early pre-1850 pieces in ephemera. In addition to the secondary use playing cards I also like and have collected early rewards of merit, invitations and broadsides, and am always attracted to early pieces with wooden type, great graphics and interesting content.

I went from a collector only of antiques to a dealer about five years ago and now enjoy the area even more, as well as constanly broadening my interests and knowledge.

I hope this site grows in the years ahead and can be a great venue for sharing information between us in our specialty areas.
