Junk Journal Thrift Haul - Found Some Unique Items - You Have To See! 

Your stuff will STICK in those albums! A lot of my childhood photos are ruined because of them. You can't get them out without tearing them.

I totally want to play that Grand Hotel Escape game, ha ha. I love a good mystery. (Thinking of the movie Somewhere in Time. Takes place at the Grand Hotel. I just watched the movie again last week.) ❤

I think I’d be tempted to scan the matchbooks before doing anything else with them.

I love old cigar boxes. They are a cool piece of history. Personally, I wouldnt cover it up. Its History!! Great haul.

Good score on the flash cards. As much as I've been to Goodwill and other places, I've never seen nice flashcards like you've found. Good job.

I just started watching your video and had to jump in on the album. I have tons of them from back in the day full of family photos (yes, I am vintage too, ha ha). Lots of the photos are stuck in them, so would not advise keeping your ephemera in them. Not acid-free, either. They are cute, though. I will now continue watching … 🙂

Ha! I'm here in Dayton, Ohio enjoying watching your matchbook haul.

All the restaurants, bars, clubs, etc. gave away those matchbooks as advertising for their establishments. Kept them in fishbowls by the cash register for their customers to take. Lots of people collected them. Those wedding favors were really popular too. Smoking was big back in the day. Fortunately, I never smoked, but my parents did. Mr grandfather smoked cigars. He used to take me to the Santa Anita horse racetrack in Southern California when I was growing up. I collected his betting tickets in one of his cigar boxes and opened my own bookie company, ha ha. I had big dreams, LOL. 😁

Somebody used the cigar box to keep their matchbook collection in. Cool.

Fun finds!

Keep the box and decoupage it. The box is a treasure. Great for storage.

The photo albums you bought are not so good for photos, but they might be Oak for ephemera if the font have a slick finish. You got a good haul.

I LOVE the French cards. I recently found a vintage French dictionary and a French grammar book. I don’t have the heart to cut them up, ha ha. I should video my book finds.

😂😂😂😂😂 I’m a new subscriber and making my way through your vids. I’ve often laughed when I see your haul videos because we have SO MUCH of the same things, EVEN THOSE SPANIISH FLASHCARDS! We must have gone shopping during the same time.

I would guard against using the magnetic albums for storing your ephemera to use at a later date, the glue is strong and items will tear when you lift them off, I've learned from bitter experience 😢

Great finds! The adding machine paper rolls would be perfect for a snippet rolls. I love making snippet rolls. Great score on the flashcards. I especially love the French grammar cards. Thanks for sharing.

Keep the box.. you can decorate and fill it with ephemera. Postage stamps would be great. The box is great

The cigar box might work for storing items such as washi tape. 😊

Hi Maggie!! Cool finds. You should repurpose the box! By the way, be careful with the albums because whatever you put in there will stick and sometimes you cant get it out. We have alot of those with photos and they are permanently stuck 😮

Great finds! Especially the game!!

Wow what great finds.

Those sticky albums were very popular, they do get dusty and lose their stick and go yellow. I’m not sure where the magnetism comes in. We used to find them really annoying.

Snippet roll is the word you’re looking for.

You can recover the box and use it for anything.

You found some cool items. And I realized that I am undervaluing my donations! 🙄

There is acid in those pages on that old album. Don't do it!!! :)

I don’t recommend these albums your articles will stick and you can’t get them off.

Please don’t use the photo album for your ephemera. It will ruin your items. They will stick. Also, why would you not keep the cigar box? There are people that pay big $$$ for them. Keeping the box doesn’t in anyway mean you approve of smoking.

I ditto a lot of the other comments. Those albums are not archival safe and you will ruin your items by putting them on the sticky pages and pulling them off.

those albums are horrible. all my photo from high school are in those eventually they fall off and everything turns yellow.

Don't put your items directly on the page. Put down a piece of cardstock first and build from there...pockets, etc. DO NOT put pictures directly on the glue.

Don’t use those albums for anything you want to reuse. They’re not fun.

Are you in ohio
