A collection of memorabila from the World of Tomorrow I have a great interest for the 39-40 New York Worlds Fair and I thought you would like to see a collection of items I've accumulated over the years. Also included are some rarely seen photos of the construction of the fair. If you have a story about the 1939-40 New York Worlds Fair,or even one handed down by parents or grandparents,please add it to the guestbook. I feel historical events are much more interesting with personal accounts added. So,if you worked there,helped build it,fell in love,or whatever,I'd like to hear it. Note: The items are merely for your enjoyment and are not for sale so please dont ask. Thanks and have fun! Jim ATTENTION! My second 1939-40 New York Worlds Fair site is 60% completed and will be up and running by mid-December. It will be comprised entirely of rare color images of the fair! I'll provide a link when its finished.
