I think I'll just have the salad, thanks. From a 1932 Knox gelatin recipe suggestion book. #food #foodie #aquiredtaste #nope #estatesale #knox #booklets #recipe
This is the kind of World Series rain check anyone would be happy to get...except in 1932. #nostalgia #sportsmemorabilia #justinantiques #yankees #baseball #worldseries #tickets #urbanarcheology #cool
Another well cared for scrap book gem. This is so rare - usually I am googling "ancient glue removal tips" but this one was preserved with photo corners which allow the removal of items for inspection and retain the value. Thank you thoughtful person from the past!

I have a lot of help from my friends in the "pickin'" business and Justin Krul of "Just In Antiques and More"is one of them. I got a call a few days ago and he told me of a sale he was setting up for the weekend and would I like to see a trunk of papers, pictures that the family wasn't interested in....Would I?

Other people's mail... found in a box lit of papers an acceptance letter to be installed as the Minister of the first church of Lynn, Massachusetts. He spends 2-3 pages of supposing before giving his answer - I am sure he made a great minister. #eatatesales #religion #letters #ephemera #1832 #massachusetts #history #mail #urbanarcheology
