From 1975. Grade: 1

Code: 50000444
Price: $1.00
Colonial Williamsburg (Virginia, USA) – entrance ticket

Price: $1.00
Kenya 4-K Clubs
If you’re American, you might have heard of 4-H Clubs. This is the Kenyan equivalent, with those Ks representing Swahili principles. We’re not certain what this 3-1/2″ square piece of thin cardboard was to be used for — it doesn’t seem to be a sticker — but here it is. Grade: 1

Code: 50000455
Price: $1.00
Kenya Charity Sweepstake – five tickets
From sometime during 1967-1969, we’ve decided to keep these five tickets together. Grades: 2

Code: 50000456
Price: $10.00
Coca-Cola Better Homes contest (Kenya) – flyer
Single-sheet, unused but now with some staining, and good luck answering those six questions. Grade: 3

Code: 50000457
Price: $7.00
Mwami Cinema (Kericho, Kenya) – flyer
“Mlevi” means “Drunk” in Swahili, and a lot of people must have been waiting for this film for the cinema to have produced such a flyer — single-sheet, folded, detailed, all customers needed to know back in 1969 when this came out. Grade: 2

Code: 50000458
Price: $8.00
Kula Samaki Kwa Wingi – leaflet (Kenya)
In Swahili this basically means “Eat a lot of fish” and it’s on a roughly A4-sized piece of paper from 1968. Grade: 2

Code: 50000459
Price: $6.00
Exposition Nationale d’Artisanat (Casablanca, Morocco)
A small ad card, unused on either side, from 1975. Classic Casablanca ephemera. Grade: 1

Code: 50000463
Price: $3.00
Valentine Greeting
Though we really have no idea, if we were to guess, we would say this very old, embossed, ornate decoration (it’s in two parts, with the child in the basket section attached to the back of the Cupid section) had been part of — or even the entirety of — an ancient Valentine card. In any event, it’s unmarked and fancy. Grade: 1

Code: 50000466
Price: $3.00
Safe Driver Reward (USA)
Issued by Insurco and Sun Indemnity Company of New York and covering a 12-month period between 1941-42, this wallet-sized card attesting to the holder’s good driving record and habits seems to have been of no use whatsoever. But it looks nice. Grade: 1

Code: 50000468
Price: $3.00
Fishing Licenses (USA)
Two ancient and battered fishing licenses: one from Michigan in 1940 and one from Wisconsin in 1953. They are in terrible condition, but authentic … and just imagine the fish. Grade: 5

Code: 50000469
Price: $5.00
Selective Service System (USA)
Something highly personal, but so long ago — and who knows, someone might want this draft card more than we do. That classification was subject to frequent change, and so it did. If you don’t know what this is, you’re lucky. End of story. Grade: 1

Code: 50000470
Price: $19.00
1933 Chicago World’s Fair – flyer
This item is extremely fragile and if you buy it we will do our best to get it to you in no worse condition than it is now. Grade: 5

Code: 50000471
Price: $7.00
Sav-On Gasoline Discount Stamps (California)
This little booklet dates from the early 1960s. Somehow there are still a few Sav-On stations scattered around, though we doubt they would honour the terms of this promotion: get some stamps each time you bought gas there, fill the book, and then turn it in for a cash discount. The book is full and unmarked, even if a bit beaten up. A real relic of a time when gas in California was only about 25 cents a gallon. Grade: 2

Code: 50000472
Price: $14.00
U.S. House of Representatives – Visitor’s Pass
From August 1966, for the 89th Congress. Grade: 1.

Code: 50000473
Price: $5.00
United States Senate Chamber – visitor’s pass
For the 92nd Congress, 2nd session, this ticket from 1972. Grade: 1

Code: 50000474
Price: $5.00
United States Capitol – Souvenir of Tour
A tiny ticket from sometime during the 1960s or 1970s (we think). Are they still letting people in? Grade: 1

Code: 50000475
Price: $3.00
Chinese Arts & Crafts (Hong Kong)
An unused 1970s artifact from what had been a significant chain of stores offering China-made products. It’s a small once-folded sheet with a space for the customer to jot down notes on, presumably, what they want to come back and buy later. Grade: 1

Code: 50000478
Price: $4.00
Good Night (Book Marks) (set of 32)
Unopened set of what the cover says holds 32 bookmarks measuring 142mm x 50mm. Sorry that we couldn’t find anything about this set’s back story. Grade: 1

Code: 50000479
Price: $10.00
Lhasa, Potala Palace Ticket (Tibet, PR China)
Probably one of the most iconic souvenirs anyone can take with them from Lhasa, a (used) ticket granting entry to Potala Palace. It has a trilingual explanation on the back, and a QR Code, and is a place we are highly unlikely to be able to visit. Grade: 1

Code: 50000481
Price: $12.00
Tibet Museum – ticket
A (used) ticket from Lhasa’s Tibet Museum on Norbulingka Road. Plenty of different QR codes on the back. Grade: 1

Code: 50000482
Price: $3.00
