Ephemera_it comes and goes so quickly, and, the only way to save it for a time, is to photograph it. Quickly. Often it is made from ephemeral materials, but, here, we see it can be made of materials that are strong and very long lasting. And, yet, one small shove,one high tide, and it is as if it had never been.
A boy and his toys--a pedal car and teddy bear--in a hand-colored Christmas photo, circa 1930s, from the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, area.
Also worth noting: the small wicker chair that teddy's sitting on, the decorations on the Christmas tree, and the nativity scene below the tree.
This is the same little fellow driving this same car out in the yard in the photo of Sonny, Bunny, and Dummy.
For another pedal car from the 1930s, see Pedal Car and First Straw Hat, 1938.

"23 Skidoo 23."
This is a postcard addressed on the other side to Ruby Mills, Canastota, New York. It received an initial postmark in Syracuse, N.Y., on July 24, 1907, and a second one in Canastota on July 25. There's no message or signature.
For people in the know, "23 skidoo" was a humorous way to tell someone to "scram" or "beat it." The 23 skidoo fad became popular in 1906, and the expression appeared on postcards, sheet music, pinback buttons, and in newspapers and other media.
For more "23 skidoo" examples, see my 23 Skidoo and Lemons Too album.
