Finding little anachronistic surprise is sometimes just the ticket…

Like an ad for “healthful” coal heat…

Or a hairnet made of hair…

Or a chair fully shipped and handled for only $7.50…

Of course this kind of surprise ain’t so bad either…

Makes me wish I worked at a vintage bookstore and got to spend my day putting my ear to book spines to hear that creaky-croaky sound they make when opened, inhaling that lovely warm, decaying book smell, and scouring the volumes for happy little surprises like these.
