It includes several pictures of the Long Island Rail Road exhibit at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. Great fun for all of us Dashing Dans who rode the LIRR.

This was on the Metals Building in the Production and Distribution Zone. Newly restored vintage print.

Four Victories of Peace by John Gregory. Located in the Court of Power, the "Four Victories of Peace" consisted of four female figures representing Wheels, Wings, Wheat, and Wisdom. Newly restored vintage print.

Great shot of the lighting fixtures on the walkway to the left.

There was so much light coming from the vast number of pavilions that traversing the grounds was quite easy. As I remember back all those years ago, the Expo lighting fixtures along walkways, near the canals and gardens etc. was designed to create a warm and inviting mood as much as for any other reason. And they were quite succesful.

I loved seeing the bilingual signs everywhere at Expo. I was in grade nine and almost through one year of middle school French. I still remember sitting near the enormous Grande Bretagne letters on the British pavilion and URSS on the front of the massive Soviet building. I understood enough to appreciate the remarkable international feel over every inch (centimeter would be better) of Expo.

I'm not astonished they didn't become big hits. Newly restored 35mm slide.

You can tell that the air comes out horizontally (in all directions of course) by the wind noise in his phone when he moves it into the path.

No, nothing that would identify the year in that batch so far.

Scary to think what that could do to your hand.

Same. I was hoping to know that myself, secretly wishing he had tied streamers to show the airflow. And on another shot, showing how small pieces of paper were(or not) flying away. But geez... the seller wanted $3k+ and the guy brought the seller down to $700? $700 would be still way above what I'd offer. I don't care if 12 were made for a fair or not in one year. That model is not the holy grail ;).

I wish the owner offered more of a description of the airflow around the fan, rather than the start-up sound.

I remember reading the architecture on the NYC Twin Towers were horrid and awful. Yet, to this day, they're iconic and fondly remembered. It's not always about the architecture, though it helps!

Interesting but that cage around the blades doesn’t offer much, if any, protection from errant fingers at all.

The 35mm negative was badly scratched but I managed to undo most of the damage.

Do you know which year? Other than the word above "Bazaar" could be Tunisia, I got nuttin'.

Sounds unbelievable today, but they were 4 oz.

The sign on the left reads "vocational" so I suppose it was Scouts learning auto maintenance.
