High school dance card with tiny pencil, 1938

A homemade dance card with attached pencil found in an old trunk. It looks like she sat out half the dances - at least I assume it's a she. Did men carry dance cards? I took for granted they just remembered with whom they were dancing.

Casper velvet painting

This was one of a series of four velvet paintings of cartoon characters, although only Casper and his...guitar? ukulele? was worthy of serious consideration. However, six dollars was a bit much even for so much awesomeness.
