A ‘collectible’ can provide an emotional attachment such as a menu from Vancouver’s long gone ARISTOCRATIC RESTAURANTS. Ninety cents for a veal cutlet dinner is all you’d PAY. Cherishing the old fashioned lettering, far removed from today’s computerized FONTS. Do you remember that downtown location off Smythe and Granville? Howe about at the corner of BROADWAY?
The magic of finding a 1960’s Harry Belafonte concert ticket stub at the Q.E. Another from ‘How The West Was Won’ - in Cinerama - at the STRAND. With Debbie Reynolds, what a MEMORY! Like Walter Cronkite used to say, “And you were there”. Now that’s something only some of us young ‘spring chickens’ truly UNDERSTAND.
The discovery of picking up an unused roll of Kodak verichrome black and white FILM or genuine stationary from CLARKE AND STEWART. We feel ‘tickled pink’ finding a two penny authentic package of Double-Bubble Gum, remembering those long time gone pre-denture days when we could still safely CHEW-IT.
