Years ago I cleaned out a garage for a friend of mine. In a file cabinet was a folder Naomi Kindle had assembled magazine articles concerning the Statue of Liberty. Particular coverage was on the restoration and anniversary when the Copper Skin was replaced. Also in the garage was one of the little Statues that had been made to raise money, plated with the old coppper from the original Statue. Since then I have added to the collection with many other small items, a few other little statues, lighters, posters etc.. There are a few odd items like the Folgers container with the picture of Miss Liberty, in their drive to raise money for the modernization of facilities of Liberty and Ellis Island, a Dr. Pepper can, a few theme embossed tins, post cards, posters, advertisings. I will try to get the slideshow completed soon, there is lots to add. |
