Hockey tickets - most expensive ticket $3.00


My favourite, the job ads. These wouldn't be allowed today because of gender and weight (!)descrimination.




Wow, a weight restriction on this one!


Today, Loblaws is one of the largest grocery chains in Canada but back then only had 2 stores in Toronto.


Also, I found an Australian Christmas stamp from 1958


If I find anything else of interest in my ongoing renovations I'll be sure to share!

I wouldn't get rid of or alter any of that. Bet they are collectors items!

[G535]

The year before I was born!

I can tell you that the stamp is not a rare collectors' item, it's so common it's worthless (I used to be a part time stamp dealer).

I wouldn't mind buying that house now at that price.

No matter how much that stuff is worth, it is very valuable to me!! I love finding things like this too; you must have benn so thrilled!!
Thanks for the pics, they give me an idea how life was like one year after my parents got married!!
