Posted this in the March pick up thread on the memorabilia side. Only posting it here to add to the items in this thread. I picked up this cardboard fan. I have never seen one prior to this. As they say if you haven’t seen it before you may never again. With that in mind I purchased it. It originates from a religious theme park named Holy Land in Waterbury Connecticut. The park was active from 1958-1984. It re-opened in 2014.

I have an example of the fan, but if I recall correctly the one I have is blank backed - the advertising from the theme park I have never seen before - super cool!

A collector on Facebook shared another fan with me. His features advertising for a Louisiana based mortuary. I suspect these may have been sold in bulk as a blank backed advertising piece to be used by a variety of businesses. I think the number on the front might be a catalog number reference.

Always happy to find a reason to add to and bump this thread! This is the printing flog used by The Pittsburgh Post Gazette to create the front page of the Oct 18, 1971 newspaper.
