This listing is for ONE wrapper only. I am listing all 200+ wrappers separately.
NOTE--has a couple small archival tissue repairs to splits
From a collection of 200+ different candy wrappers from the late 1930s-mid 1940s. Some time in 2020, an 84 year old woman named Betty Briggs died. She had lived in central Kansas and when she was a child, she kept a scrapbook of candy wrappers. This scrapbook was sold at an estate sale, put on EBAY and I ended up with it.
ABOUT THE SCRAPBOOK---the wrappers were mostly untrimmed and easily removed from the scrapbook page. Wrappers were stuck to the pages either by clear tape or school paste which allowed these to be removed easily. Some wrappers may have remnants of old yellowed clear tape but these are usually small pieces. Friends and relatives apparently sent her wrappers from where they lived or trips they took. This was a meticulously well done scrapbook and there was very little duplication ! Very few wrappers had significant damage.
DATES---since most items are undated, things I have identified as 1940s might actually be late 1930s.

COMBINED SHIPPING ?
YES...I can do this
but ONLY If you follow the below instructions.
To be clear, "combined shipping" is when you buy 3 items, for example, each with a shipping charge of , but since I can ship all 3 in the same box, you get charged -12 instead of .
I cannot "combine shipping" after you have already paid.
1) DO NOT USE the cel phone app ! If you do, EBAY will force immediate payment and charge you full shipping on each item. I will not refund your money if this happens.
2) You must log into EBAY with a
browser
(Chrome, Safari etc) on your phone, computer or laptop to avoid this.
3) Put all items in your Cart and then, while in your Cart, click the "Request Total" link
Because EBAY and PAYPAL have made partial refunds so complicated, I will no longer be refunding $ if you do not follow these instructions.
