Coney Island excursion ca. 1880s


This item is from the Charles Steele box. More than 10 years ago, the man who found the box in Newton, NJ, created a website with pictures of what was inside. That website is gone, but you can learn more about his find at Collectors Weekly. For anyone who loves history and ephemera, it's a fascinating story, and a reminder of how many treasures are just barely saved from the dumpster.
