A little fun, the old-fashioned way.
Ephemerati is a monthly curiosity drop delivered through good ole United States Mail (or Canada Post): vintage ephemera, short stories, puzzles, recipes, artful oddities, old coins, and odd little artifacts from an evolving vault. Historical, analog, mysterious, a bit odd, some quirky fun.
What might show up in my mailbox?
- Vintage paper ephemera: postcards, stock certificates, beer mats, stamps
- Stories, letters, essays: related to the vintage bits
- Occasional artifacts and random stuff: coins, stamps, tokens, small bits of the past, sticker packs
Why people try it
- To get something real in the mail
- To get a little surprise -- not another bill or junk mail
- To discover new interests or new things to collect
But what will I get?
- It depends!
- A surprise!
- Try it for $1.99 with promo code FIRST. Cancel at anytime.
Real stuff?
Yes, analog style! Including actual historical items - maybe some occasional new stuff.
Valuable?
Well, we think it'll be the level of value you'd expect for something priced $6.99 delivered to your mailbox. The value is in the anticipation, the story, the surprise, the mystery, the weirdness! (right?). It'll DEFINITELY be worth the $1.99 - and if you don't think it's worth $6.99 every month, you can just cancel.
Safe?
The subscription process is managed by Stripe, a leader in safe, secure transaction processing and subscription management.
How Ephemerati works
Subscribe
Get your first month for $1.99. Stripe securely collects the email and mailing address needed for fulfillment.
We choose from the vault
Your mailing is assembled from a rotating catalog of items and letters ("The Vault") to tell you something about or related to the item (we might occasionally break the formula to shake things up a bit).
Something arrives
You open it. "Look at this thing!" you say.
You decide whether to continue
If you like our little ritual, do nothing you'll get more. If not, it's easy to cancel with Stripe. Just try it for, how much...oh yeah $1.99. The stamp, envelope and paper will cost us almost that much!

FAQ
Stuff that might be on your mind.
What will I get?
A monthly mailing drawn from the Ephemerati vault: usually some combination of printed ephemera plus a short letter/essay/story.
Is every month the same?
No. Similarish maybe. A piece of ephemera or some item and a lettery thing. But we might change up the formula a bit once in awhile.
Why would I do this?
To get a monthly surprise in your real-world mailbox? You're weird?
Can I cancel easily?
Yes. Give it a go and if it's a no-go for you, cancel easily in Stripe at any time. We hope you'll try it for a while, but you won't hurt our feelings. Maybe a little bit.
