1940s Psychic Hotline: Paper Edition

Super-rare vintage find: 1940s metaphysical booklet advising readers on several forms of psychic and astrological phenomena, including dream interpretation (viewable at full size by clicking each image).  It's always interesting to see the austerity and near-Biblical tone of such writings of this era.  By the 1960s, there seemed to have been a much lighter aura around these topics, reflecting what was perhaps their wider acceptance by a larger portion of the population.  

Sperry & Hutchinson

I've collected several varieties of vouchers and merchandise stamp books from different stores and companies, but this lot is especially nice for its fantastic, unused condition.  Another flea market Christmas gift find from my friend (and peerless vintage motherlode-grabber) Steve. Thanks again, my friend!

Pull Up To The Bumper

Some excellent 1970s sticker fun from one of my forever friends...  Thanks, Cathi Krupsky!
