Ephemera and Paper Collectibles Group Lens

A Headquarters Lens showcasing a group of collectors and sellers of ephemera and paper collectibles and the lenses that they have created here on Squidoo. If it was printed on paper in the past and there has been a lens created about it you will find it here on this page. Old advertising, sheet music, back issue magazines, maps, and stock certificates are just a few examples. You can also add a lens about your shop, if you sell ephemera and paper collectible items in the plexo found below.

The image to the left is a photo taken from an old Coca Cola advertisement that I own in my collection of ephemera.

Definition of Ephemera

Ephemera is a broad term used to describe items of paper that were created for use in a short time span and meant to be thrown away after one or two uses. Items generally put into the Ephemera category of collecting would be sheet music, posters, stock certificates, postcards, cigarette cards, magazines, catalogs, and the like.

Some will add the sheet music to a collection that the covers were illustrated by a specific artist, others collect a certain era, others like a particular type of song.
