IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW BEFORE BIDDING: Aeron House makes every effort to accurately identify and describe each lot; however, titles and descriptions may contain errors, omissions, or AI-assisted information and are provided as a general guide only.

BIDDERS MUST REVIEW ALL PHOTOGRAPHS AND VERIFY ALL MATERIAL DETAILS BEFORE BIDDING, including, but not limited to, signatures/autographs, authenticity, maker/artist, dates/years, condition, measurements, quantities/counts, completeness, model/edition, and identifying marks.

AUTHENTICATION: Unless a lot specifically states that an item or signature has been authenticated or certified by a named third-party authentication service (such as JSA, PSA/DNA, Beckett, CGC, or another identified service), the item should be considered UNAUTHENTICATED. The presence of a signature, autograph, attribution, name, or identification in a title or description does not, by itself, constitute a guarantee of authenticity. Bidders are responsible for reviewing the photographs and making their own determination regarding authenticity before bidding.

Photographs are an important part of the lot information and should be carefully reviewed. If any information in the title, description, or photographs appears inconsistent, uncertain, or requires clarification, contact Aeron House before bidding.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Collection of Vintage Souvenir Folders

An assortment of vintage accordion-style souvenir postcard folders and travel ephemera documenting various United States destinations. The collection includes views of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, major metropolitan cities, and scenic landmarks. Many folders retain contemporary postage and handwritten correspondence postmarked between 1928 and 1945. A cardboard box for Eastman Kodak film sheaths and miniature view booklets are also included.


Condition report:

The paper folders show variable edge wear and corner bumping consistent with age and postal handling (photo 1). Surface tanning, scuffing, and minor creases are visible on numerous covers (photo 2). Several items exhibit scattered foxing and minor losses to the paper surfaces (photo 3). The Eastman Kodak box shows light abrasions and structural shelf wear (photo 1).
