My new E-Bay store is named The Hampton Collection.  It specializes in vintage real photo postcards, as well as other postcards including Christmas, Valentines and most other holidays.   We also have a wide assortment of vintage photographs including CDV's and western photos of the Roundup, Montana area.

We also offer board games and toys.  Also keeping with the inner child in me, we offer children's books including Little Golden Books.

A big part of our inventory is vintage Christmas dcorations.  Lots of German and Polish glass ornaments.  Hallmark ornaments and a huge assortment of vintage 1950 decorations.

 My Roundup, Montana collectibles are from my Aunt Effie Walts Hodges Denton collection.  She and her husband, Clarence Hodges lived in Roundup in the early 1900's.   

The Hampton Collection came along quite by accident.  My next door neighbor and good friend moved to a smaller home.  He wasn't really interested in collecting but his parents had been collectors for years.  His mother had a vintage Christmas flea market booth and loved Christmas.  When they both passed away he inherited all the treasures (to me) trash to him.  I moved for weeks of a night and brought all the collectibles home with me.

After looking up some Noma bubble lights I had found, I realized not only did I love this stuff, it was actually worth money.  So began the dream of an E-Bay store.  After about a year of research and education I have launched The Hampton Collection.

The name The Hampton Collection is in honor of my neighbor's mother.  Her name like mine is Joanne and I didn't want to use my name.  Her maiden name was Hampton, so we have The Hampton Collection.  I thought it sounded like a good name for a collectibles store and most of my inventory is from the original Hampton Collection.  Here's to you JoAnn Hampton Flynn.  I am the keeper of your collectibles and your legacy lives on.
