Vintage Ephemera SWAP

I just love ephemera! You may ask what is it?

“Ephemera” is an oft-used term among letterpress folks and book arts people — Merriam-Webster defines it as paper items (like posters, broadsides, and tickets) that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles. Basically, things that are too fantastic to toss!

I have scads of the stuff but since I am a mixed media artist I often find myself still looking for just the right piece for my project.

In this swap you will send an envelope of 'vintage ephemera' to your partner.

One partner=one generously filled envelope.

Keep this one simple and fun. Send a nice full envelope of goodies for your partner. Newbies welcomed. Existing swap bot members should have a rating of 4.5 or higher please.

Keep in mind some ephemera can have rare odors so be conscious of the and special profile requests. Some swappers are allergic to odors.

This is NOT a junk mail swap!

Here are some ideas of what you can send:

vintage tickets

vintage checks or receipts

vintage photos

pages from old books

vintage illustrations from magazines or catalogs

vintage adds

vintage coasters, or menus

old theater programs

green stamps

bingo cards

vintage invitations and calling cards

vintage letters and envelopes

Just a few ideas for you to work with.
