Abra Cadabra! It's a Magic!

At the Magic Gallery you can view magic posters and the magicians portraits from 1890 - 1930 when magic events were a popular entertainment. These posters go by the alphabet of the magician's name. There are also items related to magic and a trade gallery. I never realized there were so many back then. After all, when I think about magic the name Houdini is the only one that comes to mind. There are also photographs of the entertainers and a section for women magicians (under P-Z).

pilllpat's sets are all in French. I could see that most of the sets were old French books for children, many are educational (I guess school books for geometric, alphabet, anatomy), others are coloring books and some magazines (tv and flims). But some of the sets weren't too obvious to me. It appears that some are data books and booklets like catalog, brochures, instructions, and Indian safety matches (they actually look like stamps to me), etc. There are also ephemera sets. The last several sets are of various photographs topics.

juffrouwjo who is a historical consultant from Amsterdam (check his profile). has tons of sets of photographs. They were mostly taken in the Netherlands and Germany during the WWII. There are also sets old albums, documentations and such. I can't list them all. The sets I liked the most were "when smoking wasn't evil, advertisement from a tobacco friendlier time", "music sheet collection", "Old Post" and "Nostalgic Photography with a 1930's camera".

Millie Motts has many sets of vintage and old photographs, ephemera, plaid stamps, manuals, brochures, milk caps, books and tons of old magazines ads, some which I never heard of. It took me a long time to look at them and I haven't even finished yet. There are 208 sets (unless I'm mistaken). The sets are from the 1930's through 1960's. Some of the magazines are Collier's, American Girl, Family Circle, Arts Menagers, Vogue, Charm, Seventeen Magazines, Better Living, Simplicity, and McCall's.

Grayson Archery Collection

This should have been part of the previous post. You'll see written information of archery around the world with an image of the archery equipments. The images and the pages are nice looking. Even though this is a serious site, it would have been fun if the Klingon's (from the "Star Trek: The next generation" tv show) "archery" tools were featured here also.

Bull's Eye!

At the Archery History site you'll find various information (ads and photos) pertaining to the tools of archery such as arrow types, quivers, points, broadheads etc. The various type of the arrows reminds me of golf in a way. I've never thought of it till I came across this site. Some other topics are ads from the past, ideas from the past, designers, articles, patents and archers.

Overall, I'd say this site has a lot of archery ads and photographs. Not really much information about the history of the tools, just the title of the ads and the photographs subjects or objects names. I guess you'd have to be familiar with archery to know what and how these tools work and perform in archery. Unfortunately, I am not one of these people. However, as someone who likes ads, I felt they were interesting and educational in a way. I don't normally see archery ads since I am not into hunting (but I do like archery competitions) magazines, so the ads (and the photos of the objects) were pretty new to me. These ads certainly seem to play a major role at the archery site.

They do however have a few articles in form of PDF files. You'll need Acrobat Reader from other magazines (Arrowtrade, Bow & Arrow Hunting, and Bowhunt America). I have not checked them, so I don't know what they are about.

You can also submit photos and advertising.
