What's It Worth? by Puppy Bird Enterprise

Finds

The visual shelf. Objects people could not place, from estate sales, thrift stores, flea markets and garage sales, photographed exactly as they were found.

Handmade paper roses and blue paper flowers wreathed around a handwritten German document dated 1882 — Handmade paper-flower wedding keepsake, dated 1882. German, handwritten. Read the entry.

Oval-framed German Lutheran confirmation certificate filled in by hand — German Lutheran confirmation certificate, confirmed 1873, Roseville. Read the entry.

Dense hand-written right-to-left script in rounded connected letterforms on heavily browned paper — A $5 book in a script nobody at the sale could name. Read the entry.

The same book propped open above a printed Hebrew prayer-book leaf and a dealer advertisement — The same book, with printed Hebrew prayer-book leaves stored inside it. Read the entry.

Everything here is a real object, photographed as found. Nothing is stock photography and nothing is staged.

The full write-ups behind these objects live in Field Notes.
