I recently came across the blog of Mr. Paul Fraser who hails from Bristol, in the United Kingdom.
His recent post entitled “Ambulance driver’s exceptional WW1 collection appears on eBay” caught my attention because it included a number of Ephemera items.
As Paul says:
The collection is currently the talk of militaria collectors’ forums, comprising the medals, badges and manuscripts of Private Addison H Smith, a WW1 driver in the US Ambulance Service.
While Paul does not tell us the specific eBay listing number or link to it… he does have a number of pictures presumably from the auction listing. I’m going to turn to my friend Marty Weil over at the Ephemera blog and see if he can find this particular listing for us.
Marty has done a fantastic job of late in reporting on some terrific Ephemera being sold on eBay… so I hope he can find this one so we can all follow it.
Paul’s blog is quite interesting and while not entirely Ephemera connected, it does have a bit of interesting memorabilia. How about A letter written from George Washington during his time as President to Thomas Jefferson, who was to become the third US President?
Have a look and see what attracts your attention on Paul’s blog. I am sure he has something of interest to most all of us.
I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the Encore it deserves.

Tom, you’re too kind. Thanks for the kind words and the link love. I tweeted this post in hopes of someone finding this listing for you.
