I attended the ESA Ephemera Fair this year and saw the many thousands of bits of ephemera. For the unfamiliar, ephemera refers to mainly paper items that were created to be useful for a short period of time and then discarded. These can be things like newspapers, postcards, tickets, brochures, posters, advertisements and more. For people who love history, ephemera can be thrilling to dive into. These items offer a really unique look at a time or place in the past. I love it. I bought a few items at the fair (and won one in a silent auction!), and the second half of this video is me going through the items and telling you what I've learned digging deep into each. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Wonderful! As always you are top notch! I share your passion for antiques and history.
Thank you :)
Also love the trinket box and when you showed the sketch I immediately thought of the Christmas Carol, too!
I'm so glad you thought the same! Maybe it really IS of A Christmas Carol.....How cool would that be?
So interesting, thanks for sharing! Wish I had known about this fair earlier, it's not too far from me☺
Oh man, maybe next year? It's an annual event 😌😌 Thanks for watching!
Great haul as always all is very interesting I love the sketch it does look like it might have been used for an illustration in the book CAROL like a proto type sketch to see what would make the final cut. The coffee bag is cool too never seen that brand you can do more research also you can drink my cup of coffee I never touch the stuff. And the I will call it a jewelry box a very fancy one all in all that looked like a fun place to be wish I could have gone with you I love digging through stuff like that. Oh and the handwriting you found I know I could never be as good as that if anyone could read my writing best of luck
Great video as always
"Hey good looking " lol
❤
For the coffee bag you may want to consult a Milwaukee library. They will likely have a city directory for that year as well as local newspapers which might have ads.
That's a great idea!
Always interesting when you post.
Worth waiting for.
That's really kind, thank you :)
So strange that its actually recommended not to use gloves.
Pretty cool finds!
Yeah, with delicate paper items, gloves can make you more likely to damage an item. The gloves reduce sensitivity of your fingers, and the cloth can snag on bits of paper, etc. Thanks for watching!
Very cool. Where do you even find this stuff? 😅 I'm a huge history nerd but this is impressive.
Haha, do you mean how did I find the event?
@@TheCuriousWorld Yeah. It's a neat idea.
Yeah it was fun. This was my first time attending the ESA Ephemera Fair but it's an annual event. Here's a list on their site of similar events, even some online ones-- www.ephemerasociety.org/events-calendar/
@@TheCuriousWorld Thank you, this is incredible. The NYC events in April look very tempting!
Omg. Greaaaat! You are alive😅
Yep
But where can I even *buy* bear hands, let alone cleaner for them?! 😩
Bad dad jokes aside, always such fascinating videos! Thanks for continuing to make them! 🙌
Thanks for the chuckle! And thanks for watching :)
