I pulled this gem out of a desk -literally- it was lost in the tiniest of spaces and required tools to remove. Why do such a thing? Just for the thrill of seeing that a 1923 calendar that didn’t exist until today is also synchronized to 2018. #found #artifact #deskdigging #estatesale #1923 #calendar #coincidence #kismet #destiny #urbanarcheology

How often do you get tickets to a Broadway show 57 years too late? My very good friend let me clear out her Father’s desk and let me keep the contents. Inside were tickets to the short-lived Musical “Wildcat!” There is more to the story that just adds to the comedic genius that was Lucille Ball. If you want to know more come to one of my “Confessions” or talks in the next few weeks. Brookfield, CT on the June 20th or West Springfield MA on June 26th. #found #Broadway #lucilleball #desilu #tickets #ephemera #estatesale #urbanarcheology

This may have adorned a kite box at one point. But, while the weather is good it will be my flag for today as I try to touch sales in four towns and 2 states. Wish me luck. #found #chinesekiteflying #estatesale #tagesaletrail #urbanarcheology
