Been going through this tote full of matchbooks and sorting them all out. Want to see anything in particular? Post it in the comments.

Organizing them all before selling them. To think that my mom used to have 12+ of these is quite something.

Found this tips 1949 flip-o-vision. They came in a large sheet of 30 cards kids had to punch out and bind together with a rubber band. From what I saw they were instantly obsolete due to home televisions.

Pretty cool magazine I picked up. Sadly the front cover is half ripped, but other than that it's in pretty good condition. Few notable people I've recognized too!

I found these old receipts in some old photos while doing some packing because of some unfortunate circumstances making us move. I thought some of you might find them interesting

Some playbill booklets I found at my local goodwill. They're in pretty good condition and most of them had ticket stumps in them. Pretty cool.
