The Way Back Co

About to put this album up in my Etsy shop tomorrow. There are a few creepy & odd snapshots that are just incredible. To be honest, I’m having a hard time letting go of this one, however I’d love to see it go into the hands of someone who will appreciate this as much as I do. I’m only able to include 10 images in this post, therefore I will include these in a story as well as the rest of them.
Asking $325 (or best offer).
Additional S&H will apply based on where you live, or you can pick this up in person in Buffalo, New York.
Paypal or Venmo accepted.
Please “like”, share, or tag anyone you think might be interested in owning this delightful and strange treasure.

“Your life’s a wreck; you’re tired of living,
Of lending, spending, borrowing, giving;
Of doubt and fear, of hope and question,
Of women, children and digestion;
There isn’t a single dream you cherish-
You simply pine and pray to perish.
You haven’t the nerve to take bichloride,
But you stay up nights till you’re gaunt and sore-eyed”

“Another notice this morning to pay my fire insurance. See my table going up in flames, with my policy in the middle of it. I burn my hands trying to sn**ch the fire-insurance policy off the table. Table - Pay fire insurance."”
