The next Collectables & Ephemera Fair– Sunday 20 November 2016

ROLL UP, ROLL UP ON SUNDAY 20 November 2016: The Ephemera Society of Australia has been running its twice-yearly COLLECTABLES & EPHEMERA FAIRS since 1987, possibly the oldest and best fairs of their kind in Australia. The next fair promises to be a bottler. With over 40 stalls, some from interstate, you are likely to find the whole spectrum of ephemera collectables– from traditional to eclectic– and from vintage to current– at prices to suit all pockets. Here are just a few of the items you are likely to find: early comics, postcards, advertising memorabilia, posters, football cards and magazines, vintage sporting memorabilia, Olympics, badges, letterheads, local history (especially Victorian), swap cards, North American ephemera, old photos, cigarette and trade cards, tin badges, swap cards, cricket collectables.
Of course we can’t guarantee exactly what’s going to be for sale on the day, but from the feedback we get from our visitors, there is a good chance that you will find what you are looking for– or someone will point you in the right direction.
So, Roll Up, Roll Up, bring the kids too– they get in for free! And come early to get the best choice.
If you would like to sell at the fair contact us on:  mmbede810 at gmail dot com – we always like to squeeze in some new faces. [Please note that the email address listed previously should be written in the usual way with the ‘at’ symbol, no space either side.
