The collection consists of about 67 large-sized items, and over 1,000 smaller-sized items, including paper dolls, playing cards, trade cards, puzzle cards, dime novels, and promotional billheads and letterheads. Images on the materials range from scenes of indoor pastimes such as billiard and board games, to outdoor sports and activities like roller skating and horse racing.

The collection also consists of many broadsides announcing lottery and charity drawings that took place in Delaware, Maryland, Louisiana, Wyoming, Kansas, and other parts of the United States.

In addition to sport materials, this collection also consists of items relating to toys and novelties. Items range from paper cut-out templates, to playing cards, holiday toy listings by retailers, and toy advertisements by manufacturers such as the Milton Bradley Company and the McLoughlin Bros.
