I was just thinking about this thread and realized I didn't post the Gibson Catalog. I should have taken this but swiping stuff isn't my style..

I'm pretty sure you could add another digit onto any of those prices nowadays..

I really like the font in that catalog. Very space-age America.

Funeral notice from 1953 that I found in an abandoned house.
Image

XRays that I found at the same place. They are from 1991, but the person was born in 1923 which means she was old, even back then.
Image


Found this at another house. There's a "52" in the concrete. I'm guessing that's a date?
Image


Yet another JC Penny Catalog at another abandoned house. This one is from 1980
Image


Camp brochure from 1964.
Image


Body tag from 1983 at the funeral home.
Image


Also at the funeral home.

I know this isn't dated but how freaking long ago does it have to be to have minimum wage that low?

Apparently you are unconcerned with giving out the address of that mortuary now...

It's not at Lindbergh and Gravois. And when you google search the name it gets you no where. ;)

OMG totally forgot about this! I just found it in a drawer. I got it out of the Washington Park Cemetery, on the second floor of the old records center. I have the oldest date! Woo hoo! Lol.

Oooh, I'm sorry. Disqualified on the grounds that it's not a calendar. Better luck next time!
