We were pretty busy last weekend, getting ready for our sale.
But my husband managed to get to a yard sale and buy an old scrapbook for $4.
It really was tattered and in shreds, but you would be too if you were 120 years old.
Some stuff was glued down, and some just loose.
These are five trade cards for "Swift's Beef Extract".
Sold for $5.
Another trade card, which was a great advertising ploy.
Children and adults collected trade cards,
there wasn't much colored printing going on back then.
Sold for $5.
This advertised typewriters manufactured in Omaha.
Sold for $52.
1901 Singer Sewing Machine calendar.
Sold for $10.
Booklet with litho flowers.
Sold for $5.
Diecut greeting cards,
most published by Raphael Tuck & Sons.
Most of the stuff in the scrapbook dated between 1895- 1910.
Sold for $10.
All of these will be on ebay in the next few weeks.
Those are all neat.
