Late in the show I walked around and videotaped all the tables with my
Canon digital camera. 4-18-2012: after previewing it for the members at
the meeting last night, I uploaded it to YouTube:

Webmaster's Note:
I would consider hosting for free a small "trading" or "wanted" page
for any member with information about their collection and what they are
looking for. By small, I mean about two printed pages worth, or about 120
lines of text, with a maximum of two photographs or scans. However, as my
site sells nothing, retail or wholesale "For Sale" notices will not be
accepted, but I could link to a specific other site where a member is
selling items. Of course, this service would be for paid up members only,
as verified by the Treasurer. If someone doesn't pay their dues, their
page will be deleted.
Are you interested in your Oshkosh History? Do you like to preserve things that were significant to you in the past? Do you like to share your adventures finding old, rare or precious pictures, knick-knacks or toys? We are the place to meet kindred spirits. We are the collectors of any and all things that make Oshkosh Memorable!
Dairy Items, Advertisements, Miner Lamps, Paper Items, Suitcases, Plates, Photographs, Toys, Guns, Bean Pots, Brewery, Soda Items, Newspapers, Books, Post Cards, Tokens, Sport Items, Matchbooks, Yard Sticks, Banks, Furniture, Directories, Medicine Bottles, Musical Recordings and more ...
Our mission is to show the Oshkosh public that there is inherent value - collectibility - in Oshkosh-made goods and products.
Membership is open to anyone who is interested in any facet of Oshkosh memorabilia, especially in collecting it or preserving it.
Memorabilia may be anything relating to Oshkosh manufactured products, the advertising of Oshkosh companies and institutions or their services. Or simply Oshkosh people.
We strive to educate the public that they may have in their closets or attics things that could well be of historical interest if not of some monetary value.
For this purpose we show our collections and have an annual program at the Senior Center allowing people to have their Oshkosh-related items assessed by memorabilia collectors or by antique dealers.
From time to time club members furnish things from their own collections for temporary display at various locations in Oshkosh.
We Do Programs: Are you a program chairman looking for a speaker? We can provide a variety of subjects involving the collecting of Oshkosh memorabilia. Contact Larry Spanbauer
