| The picture shows a view of all (6) 1964 - 1965 New York World's Fair Advertising Souvenir Items in this lot. The first item included here is the ©1964 Rand McNally map that is shown opened. It has a street map of the Fair, a street map of Manhattan, a Rapid Transit map, a birds eye view image of Manhattan, and other New York pictures. It has an index with many Manhattan locations, and one with a long list of the Fair's Major Exhibitors. Next is another World's Fair folding map. This one was put out by Flying A Gas Stations and Tidewater Oil Company. It hasthe tri-state area of Western Connecticut, Northern New Jersey, and Southeastern New York. It also has smaller maps of Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, New York City, and Routes to the Fair. There are also many panels filled with information on the World's Fair. This map is complete but it has separated into two sections along one of the folds. The third item here is a brochure with maps that was put out by the Greyhound Bus line. It is titled ''HOW TO SEE THE NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR QUICKLY - COMFORTABLY - COMPLETELY''. It has pictures, maps, and information pertaining to many different modes of travel and tours of the Fair. These include: GLIDE-A-RIDE, ESCORTER, SIGHTSEEING SCENICCRUISER, POINT TO POINT TRANSIT SERVICE, INFORMATION BOOTHS, BUS STATIONS, and the GREYHOUND RESTAURANTS & EXHIBIT. It has all the major Exhibits listed and it has many different maps of tours to choose from. The next item is a cut out section. We are not sure what this was from, but it pictures people walking and has the title ''1964/65 NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR''. Next is the ''OFFICIAL GUIDE NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR 1964 / 1965'' book. This (314) page soft cover book covers about anything you can think of pertaining to the Fair. It looks like all of the Exhibits are represented inside and it is filled with great old advertising from all of the Fair and the surrounding New York areas. There is far too much inside to describe or list here. The sixth and final item in this lot is another fold up map. This is the ''OFFICIAL SOUVENIR MAP NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR 1964 / 1965''. This one has a nice birds eye view of the Fair with all of the Exhibits illustrated in detail. It also has maps with approaches to the Fair. It comes inside a folder. It has a little separation on a fold. All of these items for one price! To judge the sizes the Guide Book measures 5'' x 8'' x 1/2''. These appear to vary from fair to near mint condition as pictured and described above. |
