Throwback Thursday - U.S. Puzzle Map




My wife and I really enjoy going to antique stores, flea markets, estate sales, etc. It's one of the things we do together a lot. While visiting family in Castle Rock, Colorado over the Christmas break we decided to head to downtown Castle Rock to do some junkin' as we call it. In one of the antique stores we saw some really cool refrigerator magnets made out of old wooden U.S. puzzle pieces. So what do we do? Get on EBAY of course! Did I mention that I love EBAY? I always look there first for anything I want to buy. I also sell stuff. junkytrinket is my screen name. Save me as a favorite seller. Anyways, I find this old puzzle from the 1940's or 50's....end up winning it for $7.95. This map is old! It still shows the Philippine Islands on there! My son and I put it together last night and Ohio and South Carolina are missing.........oh well, I can do without Ohio, but SC....come on! Long story short.....my wife and I are going to make some state magnets. I'll post them when we finish some. Also, let me know if any of y'all are interested in any particular state. I can maybe send ya one. Sorry but I'm calling dibs on Texas, California, Colorado, and New Mexico.
