To Sell or Not To Sell

My collection of antique magazines and books has gotten so large I am running out of room to store it. I have debated selling some of my stash that I have already posted on eBay or Etsy. I am not sure of the market for these items. I would like to sell them to people like you who will appreciate them. Do you prefer one selling site over the other? Would you purchase a vintage magazine? Please let me know your thoughts.

Babyland 1885

As you know I am constantly searching through my collection of old images and magazines to find the best line drawings to make into digital stamps.  Today I rediscovered a book I had called Babyland from 1885.  Unfortunately about 9/10ths of the way through scanning I noticed the book was covered with mold.  I washed my hands about ten times but I still feel like I have mold on me.  Who knew scanning old books could be so toxic.  Anyway, they are adorable images.  Enjoy!

A Windy Day

Today is the 2nd day of spring and it is very windy here in the northeast.  I went outside and felt like Mary Poppins.  I was sure I would take flight.  Both of these images are from a March 1911 St Nicholas Magazine.
