OT...What a coincidence.

I find things like this fascinating.

Kev picked up a box of old magazines at an antiques store and I was going through the Hollywood type ones because the stories and the ads crack me up. Of course, I'm always looking for vintage jewelry ads as well.

I was looking at a Screenland magazine from 1946 and I happened to read the address label where it had been delivered to the subscriber back in August 1946.

Turns out, the address is across the street from where we live !

This magazine was found in a NJ antique store and we live on a small side street in a somewhat small town in Mass.

What are the odds I wonder ?

It really is a small world.......and yet, I would say a million to one.  How fun!

That's pretty cool, Cali. It's a small world. 

Now I'm curious about the magazines. Were they expensive?

[retro-charm]

LOL.....What are the odds of two people writing "it;s a small world".......

[calis_stuff]

Tex, expensive back then or now ?

Kev has a warped sense of humor, he wants to bring it to the neighbor and apologize for the delay.

[retro-charm]

LOL, I think that's funny. Are the folks on the mag still across the street?

I meant expensive to buy now.

[cleio]

you bought it right?  How cool would it be to take it back to its orignal destination!

[calis_stuff]

Tex, 15 cents in 1946 and he paid $3 for the box.

No, other neighbors there now, at least a different name.

I love things like this too.  I vote on taking it over to the neighbor's.

Are they nice? Do they like antiques? maybe you will find you have a new shopping partner 

[calis_stuff]

I have only seen the neighbors in passing, they don't speak much English and are rarely home. 

Not sure they would understand Kev's humor.

That is an amazing coincidence!
