OT- Cool Flea Market Find Today
Obviously my main interest is sports ephemera and memorabilia, but I also like to look for interesting paper items. I was at the flea market today and a dealer had a bunch of boxes of paper items. I found a bunch of vintage stock certificates, a 1957 Maryland at Miami Football Program with stub, misc. paper items and the item below. It was in a group of 4 different 1917 Harvard University envelopes and 3 had the contents in them. The cool find is a July 1917 Freshman acceptance letter to Harvard University. If that wasn't cool enough, the recipient Hamilton MacFadden went on to become an well known Hollywood Director and Actor. Note- I noticed the pictures make it look like the letter is a copy, but the signature is original fountain pen.
