Vintage Paper Show, Glendale, Ca.

Glendale Civic Auditorium, 10:15. This is such a great show, free parking, free admission, and great stuff!



                                                                        


This is from the first half hour of the show, before things get too messed up. It's odd being in a big room full of people where everyone is quiet because they're looking through paper. This show is like Christmas morning for me, I always run out of money before I run out things to buy.

This is my favorite new thing. It's another photo, called a Cabinet photo, of the Levey Sisters. They were big stars in vaudeville. This also came with two scans of posters from their appearances in England.






This is the first photo of The Levy Sisters I found, and it's now a card on RubyLogan.com. I'm going to have to do some research about the correct spelling of their name. I'd love to know more about their history.

These images are also similar to one I 've done a card of, no artist or company listed, but they're really pretty.
This show has the best postcard dealers, look for these dog images to be cards soon.


I love the Collie's paw on the girl, and the expression on the dog's face.
                                                                     

Bull Dog with violets is so sweet. Love the Boxer and Pug, too.

The Santa serving cookies is a rare image, copies will be up on RubyLogan.com soon. I found great vintage Christmas paper, and scans for crafts will be up on RubyLogan.com later in the week.


This is a photo of three vintage wrapping papers from the 1940s.
Rare black wrapping paper from the same era.  Probably wasn't very popular.  So that's my trip to Glendale and the Vintage Paper Fair. It happens three times a year, for more info check out

Happy Antiquing and Collecting, everybody.
