Some finds at the flea market
A rapping from pictures ... And a mag from 1998 who had a special on the expo 58
all colors
Most of the items from the world fair exist in different colors.
Sometimes you think you have an item and then you find it in an other color. Sometimes you can find a bigger or smaller one... It was realy the beginning of the new times of marketing.

found this on the net... sadly my budget for expo stuff is 0 for the moment
