Papergreat: Ephemera for Lunch #2: A boy and his pig

http://www.papergreat.com/2015/08/ephemera-for-lunch-2-boy-and-his-pig.html

More than 1,900 posts since 2010. Dive in and have fun exploring. Monday, August 10, 2015. Ephemera for Lunch #2:. A boy and his pig. This one is cool, because we don't get too many pigs here on Papergreat. There is no identifying information on the back of the photo, which is printed on Velox paper. I acquired this one in Shrewsbury. I can't quite read the looks on the faces of the boy and (presumably) his mother. Are they fond of the pig? 1 Previous pig-related posts:.

Papergreat: Some Phillies Fever from the Bicentennial summer of 1976

http://www.papergreat.com/2015/08/some-phillies-fever-from-bicentennial.html

More than 1,900 posts since 2010. Dive in and have fun exploring. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Some Phillies Fever from the Bicentennial summer of 1976. The 2015 Philadelphia Phillies have gone from historically awful — a 29-60 start to the season — to inexplicably red-hot, winning 15 of their 20 games since Major League Baseball's All-Star break. So it's clearly a good time to recall some true "Phillies Fever" from 39 years ago, the era of "Can you dig it! Throw in Greg 'The Bull' Luzinski’s joke about...

Lady M's Haunted Parlor: October 2012

http://ladymhauntedparlor.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 22, 2012. This weekend I plan to take my out of town guests to the coffin races. Since 1994, the community of Manitou Springs has memorialized Emma Crawford by holding coffin races. Emma was buried some years later in Manitou Springs Cemetery in an unmarked grave. A grave marker was erected in 2004 by Historic Manitou Springs, Inc. to honor her life. Now, the townspeople honor her every year in late October with The Emma Crawford Festival. Thursday, October 11, 2012. 13 days of Creepmas.

More than 1,900 posts since 2010. Dive in and have fun exploring. Friday, August 7, 2015. Victorian trade card: Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil. It's not often that I come across an obscure piece of ephemera that features a company or product that has already been well-documented by other bloggers and websites. But that's the case with the blue-and-white Victorian trade card for Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil. Which features a young girl feeding what appears to be a doughnut to a deer while an older girl looks on.

Papergreat: Vintage trade card featuring two kids riding a large pig

http://www.papergreat.com/2013/09/vintage-trade-card-featuring-two-kids.html

More than 1,900 posts since 2010. Dive in and have fun exploring. Saturday, September 21, 2013. Vintage trade card featuring two kids riding a large pig. This old illustrated card comes with no identifying information on the front or back. It measures 2¾ by 4¼ inches. I assume it's a trade card of some sort, but without an additional details, it exists solely as a picture of two kids riding a large pig. That's it. It has no higher purpose. And don't say you weren't warned. Posted by Chris Otto. In case y...
