- Trade Card for Carnrick's Lacto-Preparata and Soluble Food, Reed & Carnrick, 1893 - In the last third of the nineteenth century, an unprecedented variety of consumer goods and services flooded the American market.

- Political Game, "Blocks of Five or The Administration Puzzle," 1888 - Republican Benjamin Harrison narrowly won the presidential election of 1888. Democrats would accuse Republicans of sending men who sold their votes to the polls in controllable groups, or "blocks of five." Party officials could be sure of how these groups voted since nineteenth-century voting practices involved casting a preprinted party ballot. This game, created after the election, became a playful jab at political corruption.

- Confederate Bond, Two Thousand Dollars, 1863 - To help raise money, the Confederate States of America issued bonds. Early in the Civil War, these bonds seemed a worthwhile, even patriotic, investment to the Southerners who bought them. The war was going well for the Confederacy and the bonds promised a tidy profit in interest. At war's end, Southerners were left holding now worthless Confederate bonds.
