I always look forward to the last Saturday in January because\u00a0Singerly Fire Company holds its annual paper americana show on that date.\u00a0 The Elkton organization has sponsored\u00a0these shows, which bring\u00a0over 30 paper,\u00a0postcard, photograph, and advertising dealers from the tri-state region to Cecil County, for 20 years now.\u00a0 I’ve never missed one for\u00a0it’s a great place to browse for items related to the region’s history.\u00a0 As\u00a0the time for the\u00a0show approaches,\u00a0I start looking forward to seeing some of the outstanding Delaware and Maryland postcards brought to the show by Neil Boyle.\u00a0 From Neil and Jane this year, I\u00a0purchased two\u00a0Delaware whipping post postcards\u00a0and a photo of the Easton jail.\u00a0\u00a0For\u00a0over thirty years, I’ve added substantially to my collection thanks to Neil and the quality stock he carries.\u00a0 He always has the best collection of real photo cards of any dealer at this show.\u00a0 This year the folks from the Corbit-Calloway Memorial Library were there selling off excess inventory from their collections and items that were donated to them.\u00a0 They had a magnificent 1825 H.S. Tanner Map of the New Castle and Cecil counties, which\u00a0I’ll get\u00a0framed for my office.\u00a0 Saturday was a great day\u00a0for purchasing materials to study the region’s history.\u00a0 (In the photo above, the Corbit-Calloway librarians work to get their booth ready for the show opening.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
