I don't think anyone is being "taken advantage of" if a company charges a premium for a reproduction, especially if it's well made here in the US. You're free to go elsewhere or even better, learn to make 'em yourself. :D
Found them. They're actually from Florence. This is a partial scan:
Thanks for this great thread. You brought back some really comforting, happy memories.
YES. I also LOVED the sound the carousel made when my grandfather clicked to change the slide with his remote (that I think was attached with a wire). Just last week I asked my grandmother if she still has them and she does. I like that when those were shared you had to tell the story as opposed...
Allman Brothers "Whipping Post" brings me back to some bad days, one of which is when I was driving alone through the foothills of West Virginia from Maine to KY when my husband was in the USMC. It always makes me feel alienated and alone. So of course I had to go listen to it right now! Ah...
