Information Please...
From time-to-time I have been asked if I know anything about objects related to the 1939 New York World's Fair. Unfortunately, I know very little, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask you, the viewers for some help.
Below are items that need identification and information. If you know something about them, please contact me so I can pass along the information to the person who asked me for help. Thank you. e-mail:
Coal Breaker
From Eddie Appnel...
Here is a photo of a model coal breaker that was made by my great grandfather, Walter Urban Kiesinger. Supposedly, it was an exhibit at the 1939 Worlds Fair. The model went on to tour many other fairs, etc., I'm curious to know if it ended up in a museum somewhere.
More photos of the Coal Breaker, information, and some comments.
