Omaha, Nebraska: Central Carnival & Novelty Co, 1943. Very good. Front cover sunned.. The 1944 to 1945 trade catalogue for the Central Carnival & Novelty Co., sellers of carnival games and ephemera. Each item is priced with illustration and a brief description. Some of the more fun games and items include: roll admission tickets; a bingo cage; pin-the-tail-on the donkey party game; posters for carnivals with images of games and dancing; Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations, such as cut paper lantern shades; magic tricks and novelties; shaped balloons; crepe paper bunting and decorations; party hats; and hula skirts. Also offers an array of household gadgets, house ware, fountain pens, dolls, and a, quite frankly, random plastic figurine of the Madonna. However, the best offering is, without a doubt, the silk thread St. Patrick's day shamrock party favor with the label MADE IN JAPAN in all-caps (p. 59). Single vol. (10.25" by 8"), pp. 69, [3], in original orange wrps with image of dart board on front.
