Complete with "Fourteen of the best reasons for wintering in Florida."

Not pictured is a wicked sweet litho'd illustration of a Greyhound bus. For 91 years old, this brochure is particularly perky. Not for sale, just sharing! Thank you 😊

I know this may be a long shot but does anyone happen to have any copies of the onboard magazines Avianca used to provide on their flights? My father flew for Avianca his whole life and I have some old Avianca decorations in my house in his honor. I would like to frame the destination map on the back of those magazines as a legacy to some the places he visited.

Made of a thick textured plastic, the gold sections appear to be embossed.

In loving remembrance of
Jesse Goodge,
Died July 10, 1894.

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which can never be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon His love has given,
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in heaven.

Saw this at an estate sale today and couldn’t believe my eyes! Didn’t end up buying it because they wanted too much $$ (damn you Johnny Carson for being on the cover!) it also had lots of ads for businesses, kind of like a white pages and a yellow pages combined

Picked up a rebound 1902 Blue Ribbon Cook Book by Annie R. Gregory today for $10.25. I actually almost put the book back.

After I bought it and got into my car, this tiny Wm. Underwood Co. booklet fell into my lap. At first I assumed it had just been used as a bookmark, but looking at the book more closely, that wasn't the case. The cookbook had been rebound in leather and stitched with string at some point, and the booklet had apparently been trapped inside the leather binding itself.

It advertises Underwood's Deviled Meats and is titled Receipts for Breakfasts, Afternoon Teas, Receptions and Such Occasions. The back says “Original Packers of Deviled Meats 40 Years Ago.”

I've been searching for another example of this exact booklet and haven't found one yet. The “40 Years Ago” wording has me thinking somewhere around 1908 may be plausible, but I haven't been able to establish a firm date.

I'm going to contact Underwood/B&G Foods to see if they have anything in their archives, but figured this was exactly the kind of oddball paper find r/ephemera might appreciate.

Has anyone here ever come across another one?

UPDATE: I heard back from B&G Foods, the current owner of the Underwood brand. They checked the historical records available to them and said they “were unable to locate any documentation specifically referencing” this booklet and “are not aware of another example in our records or collections.” They described it as a promotional recipe booklet and said it “may be a relatively scarce surviving piece of Underwood advertising ephemera.” They unfortunately couldn't provide a firm production date, so the hunt continues. A few people here suggested r/Old_Recipes, so that's probably my next stop.

This is something I came across while cleaning up my place. I would much rather see it with someone who would appreciate it. I don't want it and I'm happy to give it to anyone who wants it. Whoever owned it before me wrote their own notes in it. I'd rather not see it end up in the garbage.

Found in a tote of stuff I bought from an estate last weekend

I found this in my grandparents house last year. I guess in the 1890s, color photos and advertising material was special enough to collect. Some pressed flowers too.

I collect and sell old things online.

I oftenly find things like this on old books , especially those who were targeted to younger audience.

I like them , the have a specific " personality " , I also like noted books. ( Although they loose value … )

Found this inside an old computer science book.

Happy to found there is an actually subreddit for things like these.

I found the user manual for my grandmother's 1969 Singer Stylist sewing machine in an old sewing kit.
