In among my "stuff" I have a few bits of ephemera from my late uncle.
He was a military bandsman and stationed in Germany in the late 1960's and early '70s and he had a little collection of these entry tickets from when he went sightseeing in (West) Berlin.
This one, I can tell is from the "Victory Column" in the middle of the Tiergarten. These days of course you can wander along eastward from there to the Brandenburger Tor and carry on. But when he was there you just couldn't. He paid his 30 pfennigs to enter, so I guess that means he went up to the top. It must have been quite a sight just 25 years after the war.
I don't quite know what else to do with this stuff for now.

I have little mementos like this of various ancestors too @lloyddavis . I try to keep the collection pared down, but do hold onto them. In a way, we can hold them and have a sort of Time Travel moment, so maybe find a drawer or cabinet in your house that is just for small mementos?
