Please submit only images that belong to you and that show vintage examples of ephemera, preferably ones that were printed or produced before 1970. "Ephemera" can refer to a wide range of things, but here's one definition that may be helpful: "Transient everyday items, usually printed and on paper, that are manufactured for a specific limited use, then often discarded" (from the Thesaurus for Graphic Materials by the Library of Congress). So what kinds of things fit into the ephemera category? How about advertising trade cards, bookmarks, bookplates, broadsides and handbills, brochures, business cards, calendars, dance cards, die cuts, greeting cards, ink blotters, invitations, labels and tags, letterheads and billheads, matchbook covers and matchbox labels, menus, paper dolls and other paper toys, postcards, rewards of merit, sheet music, signs and posters, tickets and passes, timetables, valentines, Victorian visiting and calling cards, wheel charts, and what else do you have?
