I acquired a binder of clippings from a Twin Peaks fan located in Australia. Inside was a treasure trove of newspaper and magazine clippings from the land down under. One of those clippings was a sneak preview of David Lynch’s masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This preview was published in the now defunct “TV Hits”…
With recent heavy rains in Snoqualmie Valley, water from the Snoqualmie River is flowing heavily over the sacred Snoqualmie Falls. For more than a hundred years, the falls have been the subject of countless postcards showing water flowing at various levels. Here is a look at one card in my collection from the early 1900s…
Seattle-based Lowman and Hanford produced a number of postcards of scenes from Washington state including the majestic and sacred Snoqualmie Falls in Snoqualmie, Washington. This postcard encouraged folks to “See Washington First” more than 100 years ago.
When it comes to collecting Twin Peaks-related items, I love rare ephemera such as these greetings cards created by Lynch-Frost Productions. These cards weren’t sold in stores. Rather they were used for correspondence from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s production company.
I love finding postcards from the Real Twin Peaks of Snoqualmie Valley that have a strong connection to Washington state. This black and white postcard contains an aerial view of the majestic and sacred Snoqualmie Falls captured by a former aerial photography company based in Seattle, Washington that was owned by a Norwegian immigrant.
For most Americans, the name, Georgia conjures images of peaches, Coca-Cola’s home state, or perhaps a Ray Charles song. But in Japan, Georgia Coffee is something very different: a beloved brand of ready-to-drink canned coffee that has been part of daily life since Coca-Cola launched it there in 1975. Sold in vending machines, convenience stores,…
When Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me arrived on home video on January 6, 1993, New Line Cinema provided video stores with advertising materials designed to appeal to fans of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show and hopefully drive sales or rentals. One such item was a cardboard sign with the “Welcome to Twin…
As a Twin Peaks fan of more than three decades, I love finding things I’ve never seen. For example, I acquired this autographed card from Ebay which features Russ Tamblyn as Dr. Lawrence Jacoby in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. It’s a great example of early ephemera from a time before…
I continue my quest to document the many postcards from the Real Twin Peaks of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington. This time, I found a postcard of Snoqualmie Falls from 1906 by James Bert Barton (also known as J.B. Barton). Despite exhaustive research, I found little information about this Seattle-based photographer from the early 1900s.
I love finding ephemera from the Japanese market about Twin Peaks. David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show was a mega-hit in the country. The design and packaging of everything from Japan always exceeds my expectations. I recently acquired a bookmark-like flyer about the release of the show’s first season on DVD on October…
