Neat, Old Stuff 5

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 also be subdivided and cataloged by subject. To all prices add approximate UPS from New Hampshire. Interest in any of these items may be expressed by e-mail. Our name, address and phone number are at the bottom of this list. If you don't see anything here that entices you, let us know what you are looking for or collect. We have lots of neat old stuff.

A word about our graphic scans: invariably the item scanned appears, in reality, much sharper and crisper than the scan would suggest.
