I found this San Francisco Exposition memorabilia at the Flea Market this passed Saturday, from several sellers, and thought it would look nice posted together.
The calfskin wallet is nearly unused, except for an Albany High School(California) student body card, from 1944, found inside, I would have thought that it was new! :^D It has a impressed image that's reads Tower Of The Sun, on both sides of an image of it, and Golden Gate International Exposition, under it.
Next are 2 different sets of miniature photo-cards, 1- a Bardell No.E-2 Souvenir Exposition Views 20 Miniature Cards, it reads on the pack front, and can be mailed using a 1 1/2 cent postage stamp to seal it, on the back, with, Copyright 1940 by J.C. Bardell, San Francisco, on the bottom! 2- also Copyright 1940 by J.C. Bardell, San Francisco, pub. for W.M. Smith San Francisco, Calif. Souvenir San Francisco Views 20 Miniature Cards, this one can be mailed using a 1 1/2 cent stamp to seal the pack.
Last to bring it together is a Vernon Kilns City of San Francisco California plate, I have a lot of these 10 1/2" Vernon Kilns plates, Designed, and made by Vernon Kilns, for many different cities, states, landmarks, or events, and probably have a few of these San Francisco plates, but the time, and the price was right, to buy another one! Can't pass-up a good deal! :^D
Thank you so much for looking, and I'll try to answer any questions, and always love to get comments! :^)

Hi Karen, good to see you again! Thanks for giving some love! :^)
Thanks to you Fleamarkettammy, for stopping by for a look, and giving some love too, it's much appreciated! :^)
Great little collection there Bill! I have a few items from the 64 World's Fair but of course not nearly as old as yours… great find :)
Thanks again Rick,
These are nice because the condition is so good! I have some things from the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, that we went to, when I was a kid, but I glued them in a scrapbook, so not worth much! :^D
Thanks for the love, Mary, and Rick, you're both so good about stopping by for a look, and leaving some love! :^)
Hey Bill -
I really like your World's Fair Collection! I am a producer with a new TV series and we are looking for collectors to tell their stories behind certain items and get them evaluated by our hosts. If you are interested let me know! I'd love to exchange information.
Thank you FoundinAmerica, it sounds like a TV series that I'd like to watch! :^D
I collect a lot of everything, mostly what catches my eye, and doesn't break the bank! LOL There may be a story here, I keep trying to tell it to my wife, but she's not buying it! She'd be happier, if I were selling it! :^)
Thanks for the love Tanni, always nice to get! :^)
