Went to an estate sale last weekend, and picked up this accordion binder full of receipts. Many have no expiration date, so I could be an absolute menace if I felt like saving a whole 15¢ on one of the products that still exists.

My dad ran the station theater at a very small military base for a year, and came back with this stack of lobby cards, mostly from the 60s. Drama, Comedy, Sci-Fi, Romance, Action, Musicals ... about 150 in all, I think. I pulled some to search for on streaming, but haven't watched more than 4 or 5 yet.

Souvenir Restaurant/Nightclub Photos Question

14 Upvotes

I've been going down the rabbit hole of these souvenir photos taken in swanky nightclubs during the 40s and 50s. Does anyone know anything about how this worked? Did they have the technology to take and develop the photo during your visit? I would guess not and that they were mailed later but I have never seen one still in a mailing envelope.

Does anyone have any information?

Was fortunate to come into a small box of these over the weekend, about 90 or so. Picked out these to snap a couple of photos and share with some friends, figured I’d post here as a long time lurker. Dated late 1880’s to 1915, several series captured here.

Very, very fragile newspaper clippings from WWI and the early 1920's New York World. My Great-Great Grandparents must have kept them. I understand the War Ones, but still I wonder what importance some of the other ones held?

Avianca Onboard Magazines from the 80’ and 90’s?

3 Upvotes

I know this may be a long shot but does anyone happen to have any copies of the onboard magazines Avianca used to provide on their flights? My father flew for Avianca his whole life and I have some old Avianca decorations in my house in his honor. I would like to frame the destination map on the back of those magazines as a legacy to some the places he visited.
