Vintage Finnish Ephemera

[Mangrove]

The Finnish National Library has digitised and published total of 5326 ephemeras from their collection of legal deposit publications. Most of them are naturally in Finnish or Swedish but e.g. car owner's manuals are merely translations of the original ones with great illustrations and photographs! There are also few English ephemeras meant for tourists and export.
