I came across this resource and am hooked.

Google News Archive Search

A random Google search for my old bench vise took me to a highlighted advertisement in a 1965 Pittsburgh Press Newspaper. I started searching the archive for some of my shaving equipment to find more information about them. I then found myself wrapped up in reading a Yosemite Valley Recorder from 1894. Anyway, I am hooked and thought some of you might enjoy this wonderful resource as well. The advertisements, the headline stories, the entertainment... All good.
