The ephemera and advertising memorabilia department at Stroud Auctions is considered by some as one of the most interesting, with many lots offering a window into the past. Items classed as ephemera include postcards, autographs, enamel signs, programmes, film posters, letters and much more. As most of these items were designed to be kept for only a short period and were reluctantly thrown out, they can be very rare and can easily be dismissed especially when dealing with a deceased estate or house clearance therefore it’s important to bring any items of ephemera to be appraised by one of our specialists before deciding to throw them away.
