In addition to its newly-made creative offerings, Etsy offers vintage items, including clothing, books, and a variety of collectibles. The following listings appealed to me for both their Salem connections and their patina, for lack of a better word:
Salty Sailors Salt and Pepper Shakers (stamped Historic Salem, Mass on the bottom—an unusual non-witch collectible!) from Etsy seller dimestorejunkie.
Early (1910-20) Parker Brothers Tiddledy Winks Game from Etsy seller FlosFullWagon.
A Little Girl in Old Salem (1908) by Amanda M. Douglas, from Etsy seller GryphonVintage.
1911 Massachusetts Atlas from Etsy seller bananastrudel.

Last night there was an auction @ Jerry’s, and there was a bag of neat old Salem ephemera. I’ll see about scanning a few items for you.

I completely forgot about that, Aimee! I’d love to see anything you might be able to scan, thanks.
