1940s Psychic Hotline: Paper Edition




Super-rare vintage find: 1940s metaphysical booklet advising readers on several forms of psychic and astrological phenomena, including dream interpretation (viewable at full size by clicking each image).  It's always interesting to see the austerity and near-Biblical tone of such writings of this era.  By the 1960s, there seemed to have been a much lighter aura around these topics, reflecting what was perhaps their wider acceptance by a larger portion of the population.

Aunt Nellie's Liquid Starch


Label from a plastic bottle from the 1960s.  
After forty-odd years under the seal of a metal cap, the product's viscosity had, uh... changed.  
Let's just say this bottle's pearly blue contents were a lumpy, gelatinous mess.
NOTE: Said mess was left to congeal in open air (atop a pile of rocks in the flea market parking lot).
