The 1915 Panama-Pacific Expo


The San Francisco Main Library had a cool exhibit reflecting the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. This Expo was one of the things that brought back San Francisco from the great 1906 Earthquake. The library had a lot of treasures from it:















It is amazing that of these artifacts from the Expo  has survived in great condition 100 years. It was amazing to see.

    I like the San Francisco image. Especially since we've been experiencing one world disaster after another it seems.

    I love this kind of vintage stuff, and seeing a bit of history. And is that actual vinyl!!??? I have a few 45s that I have collected over the years. I still haven't found the right player yet (at least within my budget), but I rather miss the sound of vinyl.

    I love this kind of stuff. Antiques, and just time gone by. I swear I was born in the wrong century. I remember seeing this movie with... oh let me see wasn't that Clark Gable, and that opera singer what was her name now? Oh darn it figures brain freeze... don't get old my friend it's just no fun at all... wait wasn't it Faye something or other... oh darn... great movie though... Thanks for sharing...
