    From last weekend when nobody was at the flea market. $15 for everything, A bit pricey, but building goodwill with a lady who sells tons of jewelry. Bone necklace, beaders golden tater pearls piece, and silverplate for my collections. The Raphael pattern is gorgeous IMHO, haven't seen it before. Forks are a bonus and the hardest to find due to crafters.

    The New Yorker in me could not resist these at $10 each. One is new in the box. ;)

    I'd have nabbed those too. My parents BOTH remembered that fair. Can't resell on line (mercury thermometers) but who cares?

    My folks were also there. Me, I was being pushed in the automobile stroller at the '64-'65, like this one.

    Yes, I remember bits of it, plus we had home movies of it. One funny thing I remember was arriving there, parking the car and walking through the lot and smelling the exhaust from buses bringing folks in. And sure "it's a small world", fireworks, running around with my siblings, being within the large world.

    Terry, only you could find a 14K gold cap on a playground! Is the outside a different metal or is the whole thing gold?
