Remember some time ago that we talked about memories of music and music lessons?<\/a><\/p>\n

Today’s pieces of fun York County ephemera (from Hubby<\/a>, as you probably already guessed), come in the same vein. We picked these up at a Stermer’s auction at the York County 4-H Center earlier this year.<\/p>\n

These are cards depicting two local instrument-sellers. The first two are from Weaver Organ and Piano Co. of York. This first one is a replica; it’s on a postcard that was published in a collection called “Old-Fashioned Children in Trade Cards.”<\/a> Looks like that collection is from about 1989; the original, of course, is much older, though I have no exact date.<\/p>\n

\"Weaver<\/p>\n

The other item from Weaver is a card that says “Our 1890 Holiday Greeeting: Weaver Organ and Piano Co., York, Pa.” This is also a reproduction, but I don’t know at what time it was made.<\/p>\n

\"Weaver<\/p>\n

Finally, I have what IS an original, a trade card from “The Sterling Pianos, for sale by J.P. Julius, 22 S. George St., York, Pa.” This even has writing on the back – the name “Lizzie S. Misener” is signed, and under that is written “Alfred Tennyson.” Is it THE Alfred Tennyson<\/a>? Was Lizzie just practicing her penmanship? These things we’ll never know. <\/p>\n

\"Sterling<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have memories of Weaver Organ or J.P. Julius the piano salesman, though, those I’d love to know about!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
