U.S., 1939 New York World's Fair, Massive Memorabilia Collection, originally contained in 11 cartons/bins, each full to the brim, we espied every sort of collectible: dishware, glasses, spoons, picture postcards, programs, records including Disneys "Its a Small Word" 45, a license plate for the 1939 Worlds Fair (dated 1940 as the Fair ran into 1940), promotional and advertising items galore, we note a tire display with a ferris wheel design, every sort of item one can imagine under the sun and stars, viewing would do the lot justice and come up with a value likely a multiple of our conservative estimate, this would be a humdinger to break up and sell on the internet, or to start your World Fair collection.
