Dear Friends,

In honor of our dear Pop Pop, Joe Freedman, we wanted the world to know how much we loved and respected his knowledge and passion for collecting.

From tobacco tins to powder puffs, from toilet paper to cleansers, from perfume bottles to folk art&†he loved it all, but especially the ephemera. He was the happiest man on this green earth.

The buying and selling kept him a very young 84.

Honey Grams and his children and grandchildren †Laura Joy, Maxx and Samantha †will miss him always and in all ways.

⁈oney Freedman
