What if there was no Cop on the Corner?

Police, Ephemera, Fliers
Flier from the United World Federalists late 1950s. Things I find become touchstone learning points. I had no idea this organization existed which seeks global order through world government. Good idea or pipe dream, or potential for more disorder? A one world State - Dytopian, or Utopian?

From the Rhode Island Almanac 1862. Back when the dictionary was just a pamphlet. This edition gave special attention to military terms of the day. #civilwar #ephemera #advertising #dictionary #old #paper #almanac #1862 #found #estatesale

Illustrator JF Kernan could be seen on many major magazine covers from around the mid 1930s. No title on this one but the 2 venerable gentlemen are becoming heating over the upcoming election from 1928. Some things never change. #illustration. #elks #magazinecover #1928 #election2016 #politics #found #art #estatesales #disagreement #argue #vote

TV nostalgia before they were famous. Paul Lynde (signed!) Alice Ghostly (sp) Robert Clarey (Hogans Heroes) Eartha Kitt. A broadway staple for many years "New Faces of_____" featured up and comers performing sketch comedy on Broadway. #TV #tvnostalgia #broadway #actors #acting #1952 #found #estatesale #famous

The last Cub card in the collection. Gunshots couldn't stop this shortstop from helping the Cubs get the NL pennant in 1932. Stay away from crazy showgirls Bill! He later became a manager of the Cub in '46-47. #baseball #baseballcards #chicago #chicagocubs #gocubsgo #sportsmemorabilia #1933 #postseason #found #estatesales

Another Cub from the collection. Chuck Klein was in decline when he did sign on with the Cubs for the seasons 34-36. That did not cast a shadow in his overall accomplishments and was inducted into the baseball hall of fame. #cubs #baseball #found #estatesale #postseason #chicago #baseballhalloffame #baseballcards #1933 #gocubsgo

Another favorite from my collection is this (sadly cut and glued) Chicago Cubs infielder Woody English baseball card. He played 12 years for the Cubs and in the 50's managed a team in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. Now that Boston is out of the running I'm a Cubs fan. #found #chicagocubs #1933 #baseball #nostalgia #baseballcards #estatesale #sports #postseason #cubs #urbanarcheology #aagpbl

95 years ago in a game between the Boston Braves and the NY Giants the famous pitcher Christy Mathewson was honored. One of my favorite discoveries. #baseball #nostalgia #found #estatesale #postseason #pitcher #boston #antique #ephemera #rare #pologrounds #1921

I went Trumpster-diving this weekend....an obvious interview that only helps to prove he is just trolling the democratic process, and if you like what he says he only considers you to be a member of his audience.
