- Sign Noting Toll Rates for the Detroit and Birmingham Plank Road, 1844-1850 - In the mid-19th century, road builders experimented with "plank roads" consisting of wood planks laid across longitudinal wood beams. Wood provided a smoother surface than dirt or gravel, especially in wet weather, but it deteriorated quickly. Maintenance costs, financed by user tolls, were prohibitively expensive and most plank roads were gradually resurfaced with gravel.

- QSL Card from S. Mary Ryden's Dxpedition using Call Sign VP2MM (Montserrat, B.W.I.) to W6DQZ (Hamid Durmisevich, Los Angeles, California), August 19, 1963 - It was customary for ham radio operators (hams) to exchange these "QSL cards" with one another through the mail after their first conversation. Long-time hams amassed collections of thousands of cards, some from far-flung places. There is a story embedded in each example: the ham's call sign dominates the design, with additional details about location, reception reports, and weather conditions.
