Neat, Old Stuff 11

How to Order

This and our other Neat, Old Stuff lists are eclectic mixes of paper and other ephemera. They are presented here in somewhat of a jumble but, eventually, these lists will be subdivided and cataloged by type. To all prices add something for handling and shipping from New Hampshire. Interest in any of these items may be expressed by e-mail. Our name addresses and phone numbers are at the bottom of the list. If nothing here entices you, let us know what you are looking for or what you collect. We have lots of neat, old, stuff.

Photo: Civil War Veterans, Portsmouth, NH

11/5. Postcard, photo of 11 Civil War veterans lined up in Portsmouth, NH. The bad news is that scrapbook paper adheres to back.
