This week Throwback Thursday harkens back all the way to 1961 and the Civil War Centennial. This is a folder I've saved all the many years since, showing some of the many novelty items available at the time; I owned many of them, as my check-offs show! I had a copy of the map on my wall at home, framed for me by my talented Uncle John; the set of flags (which now sit atop a DVD tower) was a 1964 purchase from Richmond's old Confederate Museum before it became politically incorrect; but my favorite was always the Louis Marx Civil War playset, The Battle of the Blue and the Gray, which I also still have stored away, even though termites ate the box!
Anyone else having old Civil War-related mementoes or photographs is encouraged to share them with us in this week's thread!
