Antique French receipts

I love ephemera and sometimes get out to a flea market to find them when I travel to European countries.

These are antique receipts issued in 1920s & 30s in France.
I spotted them at the ephemera shop which offer antique buvards(=blotting papers: which used to be one of advertising media and designs are beautiful!), posters and some nice paper items.

I am fascinated in this kind of old paper which letters by hand, printed and typed are nicely combined.
Plus, old stamps have an interesting flavor as well as letters.

I have displayed them on my desk with some stationery.
