Those colors of animal coin banks were stated in this monochrome print.

That local bank was a favorite with children in those olden days of the 1950s and 1960s because it gave young savers paperweights that looked like toy animals.

What has that background image of the National Theater (demolished in 1986) got to do with selling suitcases?

Weird Bookmarks

Over the past decades of browsing and buying used books, I'd found many interesting stuff used as bookmarks inside those books.

They are brochures; envelops; airline, bus, and train tickets; lottery tickets; Christmas cards; name cards; postcards; photographs; sales receipts; used postage stamps; and bookmarks (of course) among several others.

I have heard of absent-minded readers who'd conveniently used banknotes as bookmarks but, being a keen paper money collector myself, I don't have any luck yet in finding one so far.

You can never know some of those weird but interesting stuff readers tucked into their books as bookmarks. Have you ever heard of the story about someone who'd found a piece of ham bacon left behind as a bookmark?

Stamp Collecting: Scouts

I'd found my Boy Scout leather belt yesterday after searching for it for the past several days.

So I'd thought of putting together these postage stamps featuring Scouts as a theme for stamp collecting.

Banknote Albums

I'd bought cheap banknote albums for my cheap banknotes.

After I'd sold my banknotes, I'm using these albums for my old used postcards.

Always keep your used postcards separately from your new postcards.

Calendar Cards

Calendar cards are fun to collect and they're given away free by businesses every year.

If you can't find any card organizer that has those pockets large enough to fill these calendar cards, then keep them in a clean paper box.
