I was watching a You Tube video this morning by Barbara who’s channel is 49dragonflies (from Vienna Austria I believe). She linked your blog as a source for vintage ephemera. So I Googled your blog and found your shop. How serendipitous to discover you shortly after your November 8th post showing the bank statement from 1892! I’m a NH native and lived in Manchester for a while. Currently live 20 minutes or so south of Manchester, still in NH. Actually, my husband & I will be heading to Manchester later this afternoon. I now have an overwhelming urge to find where Market St is. Elm Street is the major street in “down town” Manchester so I’m very familiar with that. Just can’t visualize Market Street.
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely find.
Thank you, Kim, for letting me know that Barbara from 49dragonflies linked to my blog as a source for vintage ephemera.
If you happen to go by this afternoon, I am very interested to know what you find on the corner of Market Street and Elm Street in Manchester.
You’re welcome for the antique bank statement. ?
