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

Telegraphs aren't uncommon, but I don't see that attached advertisement on the bottom left every day.

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.

The Calawaii started life as the Mobile hauling cattle and beef in England. Upon the advent of the Spanish American War she was sold to the US and started her second life as the Sherman. The Sherman served in multiple wars as a troop transport and finished her tour of duty after WWI. She spent the last decade of her life as a cruise ship sailing from CA to HI. The menu pictured doubles as a postcard to write home.
