One of my favorite antique shows to visit in Spring is a Paper Show in Allentown, PA. It’s massive, extremely varied and entertaining and is the best place to learn about vintage magazines, postcards, trade cards and catalogs, posters and other ephemera.

The show takes place in 2 large open spaces at Allentown Agri-Plex
Original packaging boxes for mens garments ($50-80 ea)
An untouched 1940s paper display for nail files ($36)
A rare 1930s hand-drawn model of a radio ($500)
A scarce merchandising catalog for A Coca-Cola salesman from the 1940s describing the many examples of advertising placements for the brand ($1,200)
