The stars will be shining brightly in Boxborough.

Boxborough Paper Town will be returning to the only place it can truthfully be held this fall. It is set for Saturday, October 14, in Boxborough, Massachusetts, at the Boxborough Regency Hotel & Conference Center. Its longer and more descriptive title is The Vintage Paper and Book Advertising Collectibles Show. This is the place to go if you collect paper and ephemera.

 

Promoter Flamingo Eventz (their spelling) explains, “Exhibitors from across the Northeast will gather to present an outstanding array of fine, rare & unusual ephemera, old books, photos, maps, postcards, autographs, memorabilia, keepsakes, prints, posters, advertising, and much, much more.” Special exhibitor Bob Perry will be offering an extensive line of archival ephemera supplies. John Bruno and guest appraisers will be available to offer appraisals. The price is $5 per appraisal so bring your more valuable items.

 

Hours will be from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The appraisals will be conducted from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. Food and refreshments are available at the hotel's restaurant. Entrance fee is $8 ($7 with a coupon) or half that for young collectors 12-21.
