About Us

The Vintage Manor is a unique website that brings the past back to life by offering original vintage ephemera, such as family heirlooms and other collectibles.  

We are not a business; we are a community of volunteers, friends, and even some strangers who become friends. Our mission is to connect the past with the present, allowing people to explore their histories through tangible items and meaningful connections. This may involve family ancestry, historical artifacts that enhance storytelling, or other ephemeral projects that provide insight into our shared history.

The most popular and cherished section of our website is the one listing identified family heirlooms by surname, a testament to the emotional connections we help our audience preserve.  

Imagine holding a postcard that an ancestor held, looking into the eyes of family members whose stories are captured through a camera lens, and learning about family health matters and other events that bring your family story to life more realistically.

Our items, each with a unique and captivating historical significance, span the period from the early 1800s to the late 1900s.
