Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Wasn't that exact one, but I'm certain I had a Peter Potamus book as a wee lad. :thumbsup:

Was it this one?

That postage vending machine was not U.S. Post Office issue. For a nickel, you would get one 3 cent stamp, making a small profit for the retailer who had this device in his counter. Not sure what one would get for a dime.

My sister gave me one of these. Wonder where I put it?
 
This was on the local news today one of only three left of the original Golden Arches buildings is soon to be demolished.
This is a fun video. Click>Invalid Link Removed
The Camera Man worked there in the 70's and still has his uniform.

I have been driving by it for years and did not realize that it was one of only three left. Wonder where the local hookers and dealers will go now?
 
I just had a weird one pop into my head. When we were kids we were encouraged to make "book covers" for our school books at the beginning of each school year to protect the books. We made them from old paper grocery bags and if you were artistic, you would put some serious work into drawing something cool on the covers. One year (around 1970-1971?) The "cool" kids had store bought book covers with "Peter Max" designs on them. As cool as my art was, I couldn't compete with Peter Max. I found a photo of the Peter Max Book Covers on line.

Bummer! I used to go there when I was in High School in Portland. Hamburgers, fries, and Cokes were 15 cents each.
