I used to get them when I was a young child (1980s) from a dime vending machine. I had a small collection of them that was lost when we moved when I was 13. I would love to find some again, however this photo is the only one I have been able to locate online. If anyone has some they would be willing to part with or could point me in the right direction, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you.

You have unleashed not just collections, but a way of thinking, a way of seeing, a way of being . Your museum encourages possibilities and imaginings. Your museum sparks and animates creativity. Your museum helps all to observe with fresh eyes.jyouristhttp://connectere.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543459610604197170.post-1384847771374775392011-07-21T07:07:59.366-05:002011-07-21T07:07:59.366-05:00Oh, Michael, thank you for the thanks and for foll...Oh, Michael, thank you for the thanks and for following your hunch that Chicago Children's Museum might be a great place to create a permanent home for Michael's Museum.Louisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543459610604197170.post-87633455917747605402011-06-02T10:57:35.854-05:002011-06-02T10:57:35.854-05:00Ooooohh!
