Mystery Park of Springfield?

Post by Willard »

I bought this post card on e-bay and noone that I've talked to seems to know anything about it... so I took it to the Library Center's Local History Department and gloted that I had something they didn't! Anyway I'm wondering if anyone would possibly know anything about this park... and NO IT'S NOT ST. LOUIS AND IT'S NOT JOPLIN![/img]

Hey, Willard... I hate to be the one to piss in your Cheerios, but...

It pretty much looks like the same area in your post card...

Yeah, I just ended up with a rare print mistake. Oh well I'll just turn around now and resell it on ebay as a rare mistake. I should get at least $5 to $10 out of it.

what's weird is that even though that park is/was in MA, it sort of reminds me of Jordan Valley park.

Not Nathanial Greene. That was a farm field back when this postcard was made and it was a rare misprint on the state. I've seen others that say Springfield, MA. Plus I turned around and sold it back on e-bay for about $30.
