Thank you for starting this thread, as I'm excited to see everyone's Brooklyn treasures! Here are a few of the favorites in my collection:
This first piece was an usual, yet superb find. Looks to be a hand-drawn sketch of Nap Rucker from a Brooklyn local at the time (on the back of the drawing, the artist made note of his Brooklyn address and the year - 1913). Quite the lovely piece with much character and what I assume is an even more interesting backstory given the local origin.
