I found this inaugural year map from Six Flags Over Mid America at an estate sale about a month ago. From 1971, it barely resembles today's thrill-ride-choked park.

The Great Voodini
I've written before about my fascination with magic sets. I found this Transogram Voodini set at an estate sale last week. It was mixed in with a Marshall Brodien magic set. It dates from 1959.

Spartus Camera
I bought this Spartus camera at the Megehee estate sale for $1. It was a little dirty and rusty. It dates from the 1940's or '50's.
T'aint Funny, Megehee
After a long dry spell, I return today with some postcards I bought at the estate sale of Jesse Megehee Jr. a few weeks ago. These postcards were sent to his father Jesse Sr. around the turn of the century. Jesse Sr. resided in Picayune, Mississipi, just north of the Mississipi River Delta and was born in 1892. Some of the writing is difficult to read, so I've transcribed below each card.
A Glad Thanksgiving

Skip-Flea Soap
"The Special Soap for Your Dog!" That dog doesn't seem to think it's so special. He's giving it "the raspberry".
"Work up a heavy lather and let remain on for 5 minutes.." Have you ever tried that with a dog? They can't go 10 seconds without shaking water off.
