nywf64.com Report post Posted September 13, 2018 It's been a while since I posted the new items that have shown up at nywf64.com. I thought I'd take this opportunity to let you know what's new at nywf64.com over the past year, including the latest presentation of For Those Who Produced the New York World's Fair 1965-1965 -- the presentation book given to those in the World's Fair Corporation who were instrumental in the creation and operation of the Fair. Please enjoy these featured attractions at nywf64.com ... Click on any of the photos below to go to that feature: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Report post Posted September 14, 2018 The new section with world's fair post cards is excellent. I doubt I've ever visited a flea market without finding some post card from the NYWF, Expo or other fairs. Are some of the cards you have listed from a flash card set of NYWF pavilions and attractions and not exactly true post cards.? These would include images of Fair structures based on models and renderings and not actual photographs of finished buildings. I have a set of thise flash cards. They are post card size but not designed for mailing purposes. I did find an error on the third page. It's the seventh card down on the page and depicts the Unisphere and the Statue of Liberety behind it. It is labeled as Unisphere and Rockefeller Center, however. A bit below that is a rendering of the Masonic pavilion. An interesting find is that the huge Masonic symbol in the foreground (the square and compass) were moved to the huge Masonic Care Community in Utica, NY and it remains standing there today.

waynebretl Report post Posted September 14, 2018 A distant view of the Masonic symbol in Utica is possible from the road in Google Earth street view. I leave it up to enthusiasts to find it for themselves. I found another copy/paste error on the postcards page mentioned above: the Unisphere and TWA terminal card has text for the Unisphere and United Nations building.

nywf64.com Report post Posted September 14, 2018 Jim & Wayne, thanks for finding the errors. The flash-card set is not a part of the postcards. But, it is online at nywf64.com. You can view it at http://www.nywf64.com/educards01.shtml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
