Ephemera is a mix of adverts, commercial brochures, catalogues, handouts, merchandising materials and the like, related to writing equipment. Original items have a value but copies or scans, though attractive are worthless.
Most b/w items are £1 to £5 each; quality colour items are ca. £10 each
Pre 1900 adverts from UK magazines. Prices vary from £1 to £5. Guaranteed original and dated. Swan adverts are 1/2 page in wonderful detail.
Early C20th to 1930's original Punch, Tatler, National Geographic, Life and London Illustrated News.
Post war modern brochures e.g. Parker and Sheaffer illustrated price lists; some unique pieces such as Air France menu holders (van Cleem collection); Parker 100 year cards; Phillip Poole postcards etc.
Some examples will be illustrated below but we are preparing a detailed list of ephemera and will publish it on the site as soon as possible. However if you have any specific wishes please let us know.
