About Vintage Travel Ephemera

This group features images of printed matter that was intended to be thrown away, but was brought back from someone's travels anyway. Brochures, maps, flyers, luggage tags, magazine ads, travel agent's posters, tickets, stickers, barf bags, timetables, menus, receipts, or any travel-related items on paper are welcome. Either scans or photos are fine.

Just a couple rules...
* No postcards - There are plenty of groups for them already.
* Items in your images need to be from before 1990, or at least look like they are (printed dates or documented provenence aren't required).

And a couple of non-rules...
* The items don't have to be universally exotic. Local transit tickets, for example, are old hat to residents, but returning travelers has always loved to squirrel them away.
* Tourists don't have to be the item's exclusive target market. Ephemera from restaurants, theaters, etc., are fine, since they're part of many trips.
