Now if I can just practice what I preach and downsize the pounds this month after
Thanksgiving!

Now THIS Is a Nice Glockenspiel!
About 4 inches by about 6 inches. Lightly scalloped edges. Unused. Not new. Age unknown. Munchen Glockenspiel at the City Hall Germany. Nice details!
Selling all my thousands of postcards collection individually or in lots online until they are all gone. Their ages vary. I have a lot of postcards going up for sale that I originally bought online labeled 1950's -70's. But I also have postcards in the lots that came out of family houses where the people lived for 50 and 68 years. A lot of my postcards also came from estate auctions. The usual "not new" conditions exists of corner/edgewear and backs of the older postcards that I list with age discoloration that goes with their ages.
Great for post card collectors, card makers, crafters and/or scrap bookers.

Wild Bill and the Card Game Look So Real!
So many postcards and so little space to enjoy them!
Fellow Downsizers...Now here is the way to do it!
Buy my postcard notecards and send them on to a person to enjoy with you, instead of keeping them cramped up in boxes til you conk out or forget where they are.
The white envelope is about 5 1/4 inches by about 7 1/4 inches. On the front of the note card is the permanently attached vintage postcard. The second pic gives you a closeup of the permanently attached postcard.
In this case on the back on an attached label is what was on the back of the postcard:
Wild Bill Hickok's last poker hand, which was played August 2, 1876 at Deadwood,Dakota Territory is portrayed with wax figures at Southwestern Historical Wax Museum, Grand Prairie, Texas.
Inside the note card, it is blank for you to add your very own message you want instead of the dorky ones people get paid to write for the card companies. Go creative and enjoy!

Zippo Use It to Start Something. Do you still have a Zippo?
Got me to thinking. After most of us downsizers stopped
smoking years ago lighters seemed to disappear.
Do you still have one? Then I got to thinking
wonder if they still make Zippos. Sure do.
Check them out here:
