Description: This is an original souvenir/street guide from the 1964 New York City World's Fair, but it is in very, very good condition for a paper piece. It is actually a light cardboard and was probably a handout at the fair to advertise and get people to one of the numerous Lamston's 5 & 10 stores (dime store). The front says, "Always Friendly / Always Serving / Lamston's 5 & 10's / Welcomes You To New York City and the World's Fair". Below is a wheel that turns and has an arrow that points to the nearest cross street for a particular address. For example spin to 500 Broadway and Broome Street shows as the nearest! The front is black and red on a white background. The back side is a simple street map showing the locations of 13 Lamston's Manhattan stores. Below that it lists 9 more stores located outside of Manhattan (Queens, Brooklyn, New Jersey, etc.). The piece measures appx 3.5" x 5.5" and a is in great condition, the wheel turns just fine. A most unusual NYC handy street guide and from the World's Fair as well.
