This is a rare, unique piece of memorabilia from the 1939 New York World's Fair. You've got your plates, bins, banners, books, etc....but how often do you see card tables? I can imagine the folks going home in 1939 taking a book or a small piece of something to document their visit. 

  

The table is in basically fairly good shape. The legs and mechanism work perfectly, and are in great shape. The top shows some wear, but is still attractive and a nice addition to your 1939 World's Fair collection!  This Souvenir Telegram was transmitted from the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair by the Western Union Telegraph Company known as The Telegraph of Tomorrow. 

The 1939-40 New York World's Fair, which covered the 1,216 acres of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park (also the location of the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair), was the largest world's fair of all time. Many countries around the world participated in it, and over 44 million people attended its exhibits in two seasons. The NYWF of 1939-1940 was the first exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of Dawn of a New Day, and it allowed all visitors to take a look at the world of tomorrow. 

Western Union was founded in Rochester, New York, in 1851 as The New York and Mississippi Valley Printing Telegraph Company.

After a series of acquisitions of competing companies by Hiram Sibley & Don Alonzo Watson the company changed its name to Western Union Telegraph Company in 1856 at the insistence of Ezra Cornell, one of the founders of Cornell University, to signify the joining of telegraph lines from coast to coast. 

Also with the telegram is the original Souvenir Telegram Form which only cost 25 cents to send! On the original telegram is a picture of a dog and her name underneath Honey Dog.

In very good + condition without tears or rips it measures 5 3/4 inches high and 8 inches wide while the form measures 6 1/4 inches high and 8 1/4 inches wide. 

An addition to any Western Union or New York World's Fair Souvenir Collection. 

SH & Ins. will be quoted after orders placed. If you have questions feel free to contact me and thank you for looking.
