Space Gear
I bought a lot of Pack-O-Fun scrap craft magazines on ebay. They are filled with those funky 'bazaar' crafts (when did that word fall out of favor?)--you know, things made with plastic bottles, popsicle sticks, tin cans, empty papertowel rolls, matchsticks, felt, etc etc etc. Some of it is better left in the 60's, but others are fun to revisit.
Like America's fascination with space prior to man's landing on the moon. It all seems so innocent, so...Twilight Zone.

I have an ad from 1908. It shows a white bearded man looking out from a distant planet, with a long trumpet leading to the earth, far below. The caption of the ad says: 'The first message from Mars'. The message is printed on the trumpet itself: 'Send us up more Pears' Soap'.
Very cute....
I like how Baby New Year '65 is naked....with a helmet! Hee hee...
*sorry* not naked..wearing diaper, gloves & boots.....it still makes me chuckle.
