Series III. Products, 1930s?-1995

Scope and Contents Note
The series includes a small number of products sold by N-YHS, mostly postcards and holiday cards. Most of these items date from the 1970s and later, but the series also holds three sets of images sold in the 1930s (which were likely those donated to school groups; see New-York Historical Society General Correspondence, Series V [NYHS-RG 2]) and a 1949 souvenir booklet.

The series is arranged with the oldest items first, followed by those from the late twentieth century, roughly by type of item.
