My mother gave me her whole set of those Little Golden Encyclopedias, with the accompanying atlases. I love, love, love them!

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Oh my gosh! That's so cool! I know you love them! Thanks Erin and thanks for stopping by!

Awesome video. I loved the books and the letters. I paused the video several times to read the letters. The first typed letter was typed by what sounded like an older gentleman who was investing in a bowling alley. He was doing it to give what sounded like younger children in his family a stake that would help them later in life. The second letter, written from Spokane, WA (I live in Washington State). The lady writing was asking the person who she was writing to when they would be visiting, because she was going to be gone on a mission trip during certain dates, and if she could raise the money, was then going to Nebraska. Her husband was in Yakima for a board meeting at the time she was writing. They were probably working for a church and the crest you saw was probably church letterhead. Thanks for sharing this amazing "haul." I loved it.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Hey Kateri! I love those letters too - so interesting to get a peek into someone's life back then! Thanks so much for the info and thanks for watching!

[@judywilliams1863]

Bridge tally. I played bridge for many years and we used these sheets. Love your haul.

[@nancyorourke7679]

So eerie...this haul could have come from my Mom's house...Five Little Peppers and How They Grew..(both copies, lol!!) Patterns...all of it was so, so familiar!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Cool! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for stopping by Nancy!

I love collecting antique postcards, some dating back to 1918. The best ones are the love letters and believe me some are really weird! lol. I deconstructed an artificial tree (pulled all the leaves/wires etc) and glued real birch bark around the main branches. I only used birch bark that was laying on the ground (never peel from a tree), anyway, I cleaned and dried the bark and glued. I then put a bunch of led lights on the tree and hung these vintage post cards (mostly love letters) on the tree with some unique ornaments.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Wow Wendy! Your tree sounds amazing! Thanks so much for sharing and thanks for stopping by!

[@mattieparker211]

Great ephemera! I'd have to make copies of stuff I wanted to use from books or those magazines. Thanks for sharing!

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Susan Jones Hey Susan! I'm definitely going to make copies, but I want to add the real thing to my journals (not copies) because I think that makes them a little more special! Thanks for watching!

[@marjorierosetopofthehillfa4514]

I subscribed , your video was great , enjoyed seeing the old books as well as others. You really have a number of views for this video as old books are a popular collectible . I wanted to clean my carpets today but I have a feeling I'll be sitting here watching your videos !!! Blessings

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Marjorierose Top of the Hill Farm Well, all I gotta say about that is - watching videos is definitely more fun than cleaning carpets! Lol! No seriously thanks for subscribing and stopping by for a visit!

[@8Veevie6]

That was actually fascinating to watch, it can't bore me, it's like an awesome show-n-tell tfs

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Lol! I'm so glad you liked it! And glad you weren't bored! Thanks so much for watching!

[@CraftyComeLately]

Amazing stuff. Anything rare that you hate to use, scan or take a picture of and print the scan.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Yeah - I've already scanned some things. Guess I'm gonna be a scanning fool for a while! Lol! Thanks for watching!

[@lisahirschbuhl2602]

Great finds! I just started thrift shopping and I am amazed at what I'm finding. I have to say I'm also feeling older thinking some of the copyright dates are too close to my birth year LOL. Thanks for sharing! Lisa

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Lisa Hirschbuhl Hi Lisa! And I know, right?! Lol! I keep thinking stuff that's from the 70s isn't that old, but I guess it kinda is...(big sigh). Lol! Thanks for stopping by!

[@laraselli24]

Lisa Hirschbuhl But the quality back in the old days you can ' t fond nowadays , even people. Not kidding! ☺👍

[@stephaniemcclaran967]

Ramona Gaston Hi Ramona! I know, right! Thanks for stopping by!

[@dabblecrafter4454]

Gene Stratton Porter is from where I live. She loved nature. Great book find!

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Hey Hope! Well cool! Thanks so much for stopping by!

[@BeckyBitting]

the 1960's pattern I would actually use as a pattern. lol. those dresses are cute!....I think I was born in the wrong era. great vintage haul! TFS ♡ beckyb

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Thanks Becky - and I know, right?! I was thinking the same thing about some of those patterns! Lol!

[@ZenaBattaglia]

I have the children's pattern from 1978 and made all those outfits for my kids lol!

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Lol! My grandmother made all those outfits for us and I actually remember some of them, which makes me feel old! Thanks for watching!

[@jaytee2642]

Golden Book Encyclopedia? What a blast from the past! I had forgotten those existed. How well I remember the style of the illustrations on the covers. The odd assortment of things pictured always fascinated me as a kid. edit: OMG, my heart stopped at 20:07!! I honestly thought it was from a family dinner at my Grandma's house when I was a kid. LOL But when I did a freeze frame, I realized that I don't know any of those people. Wow, that was funny. It sure did look familiar at full speed. haha

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Lol! I thought the same thing when I saw that picture - maybe it's one of those pictures that looks like a picture just about everybody has, haha! Thanks for stopping by, Jay!

[@cece3194]

What wonderful old books and magazine! I shudder to think you might be planning on cutting them up, especially the old Saturday Evening Post! I hope you only photocopy them. :)

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Lol! I haven’t touched those magazines! I’ll probably just sell them on Etsy eventually. Thanks for stopping by!

[@DonnaVintageSnippets]

The "We"/ "They" sheets are for Canasta, a card game.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Thanks Donna! I really appreciate it!

[@chicken-grandma]

I made a bunch of tops from the Mcall 5110 pattern...very easy...lol

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Cool! Thanks for watching Paula!

[@urbanchili]

I love old stuff and I wouldn't cut in these but scan them for journal usage.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

This video was a while ago, and for the most part, everything is still intact! Lol! And yes, scanning is a very good idea! Thanks for watching!

[@nicolehelloijustwatchedyou4343]

Oh my gosh I just love everything you have in your collection here. If you ever want have a swap of envy kind just let me know🌺

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Thanks Nicole - I will and thanks so much for watching!

[@JourneyofCrafting]

Great finds! What kind of camera are you using?? Your video quality is amazing! TFS

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Thanks - I just use my iPhone - thanks for watching!

[@Charmille.]

J'adore! ♥

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Thanks! And thanks for stopping by!

[@DeloriHikes4fun]

I think that the game is either Pinochle or Bridge. I can see the words "Tricks" on the game card. You take tricks in Pinochle and Bridge. And you also would say, "We", "They". Hope this helps.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Suite 87 Thank you so much for the info! And thanks for watching!

[@faithdavis7258]

I think the paper that says "we" "they" I think, might be bridge scorecards? Not sure. I love this old stuff, what are you going to make with these things?

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Thank you so much for the info Faith! And I make vintage journals and add this old ephemera to them. Thanks for watching !

[@leandavm8626]

I'd, also, love to see what you do with these. I've got stacks of similar pieces, in fact, bought some today - local online auction. Vintage children's books &, a box of sheet music, some old magazines & maps. Some I won't be able to cut up either - I'll scan it first. If postage wasn't so expensive from Australia to US I'd share some. Have fun creating with it.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Leanda Miller Hi Leanda! I know what you mean about postage! I sold a journal to someone in Australia and it was expensive! But thank you anyway! Sounds like you got some great stuff! Also, I use this stuff in journals I make (I have a couple of videos about that too). Thanks for stopping by!!

[@DoloresJRush]

look on ebay how much first edition books go for and old magazines. some old histories and old ledgers, with handwriting could be considered historical/genealogical documents. maps too. i.ve abstracted vintage valentines for the handwritten names on the back for mosga.org journal. make copies and ask your historical society if they would like a donation.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Dolores J. Rush Thank you so much for the info Dolores! I've looked on EBay for some of the stuff since this video, but thanks for the other info! And thanks for stopping by!

[@FlaKNMB]

Perhaps you're too young to know, but Norman Rockwell did the art work for The Saturday Evening Post covers for years. In fact, I think all the Norman Rockwell art that you showed inside the magazine was a cover from previous years. I enjoyed your video so much, I subscribed.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

FlaKNMB I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for subscribing! Oh and thanks for the info!

[@deborahwilkinson8685]

was watching you went through the music sheets,is'nt Perfect Nanny from Mary Poppins?

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Hey Deborah - this video is kind of old, but if I remember correctly, I do have some sheet music with a Mary Poppins song on it so you're probably right - thanks for stopping by!

[@judywilliams1863]

THEY ARE BRIDGE TALLY OR SCORE SHEETS

[@Adriann1973]

How to you keep your nails looking so good and craft? My poor acrylics look great for about a week then the glue, ink etc starts taking over!

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Adriann1973 Lol! My secret - do videos right after I get them done! Hee! My nails start looking terrible after about a week too! Thanks for watching!

[@brittanygreve2756]

Love your videos! Weird random question...is your name Jennifer by chance?..

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Lol! No my name is Kristen. Thanks so much and thanks for watching!

[@ernest0bolivar28]

The Only thing you should do with the Rubaiyat is READ IT fgs

[@sheriking4041]

Any card game

[@nohemyramos234]

what do you pay for something like this?

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Nohemy Ramos Umm. Well, it depends on which items you're wanting to know about since the prices vary. The ephemera packs on Etsy are usually about $8 or $9. With everything else, the prices were very reasonable and vary- hope that helps.

[@freedomthinkerforever471]

i live in the republic of Ireland and I cannot find anything of this sort

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Freedomthinker forever I know what you mean. I live in a small town, and other than what I find at my grandmother's, I usually have to go out of town to find anything good! Thanks for watching!

[@sheriking4041]

Bridge

[@Melophile74]

Please don't destroy that John Milton book. He's a well known poet

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Lol! Believe it or not, I very rarely destroy my books (I love them too much). It’s been a few years since this video, but I promise that book is still in good condition! Thanks so much for stopping by Gabby!

[@Melophile74]

@@RockPaperTreasures oh good, phew

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Ha ha! "Life With My Thighs"! Wow...those old days of sexist advertising...

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Lol! I know - thought it was hilarious! Thanks for watching!

[@nicolehelloijustwatchedyou4343]

I was born in 1978

[@dangell8984]

Why film at all If you aren't going to go through it all? Why does everyone think they have to rush? We actually want to see the haul. If you say you aren't going to show it all, we just click off and go to someone else's video.

[@loiscassels8966]

Ugh! All those horrible cigarette ads.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Yep - back then there were a bunch of those - thanks for watching!

[@loiscassels8966]

Thank goodness we’ve moved away from that now.

[@hoosierpioneer]

You handle everything so roughly! I'm appalled! Valuable items need handled gently and as little as possible. Oils from skin will cause paper to deteriorate over time. Many people wear cloth gloves and touch only the edges. A few times you almost creased the pages in the books. These items will be worthless by the time you are done with them. PLEASE be more careful!!!
