Pan Am’s New 747 (Giveaway Contest!)

by Deanna aka Pop Tart

I’ve got too much stuff. So I’m giving a lot of it away. Not only on Listia (my review here), but even right here, at Kitschy Kitschy Coo — starting with this kitschy vintage postcard.

On the back of this vintage postcard it reads, “Pan Am’s New 747. The plane with all the room in the world.” Which dates it to 1966 or so.

There are a number of easy ways to enter; multiple entries are allowed.

How To Enter

* Post your entry as a comment — that’s easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy, right?

and/or

and/or

* Tweet the following:

Vintage “Palmetto Jumper” Hunting Vehicle

by Deanna aka Pop Tart

The Florida “palmetto jumper,” a combination dog-lunch-shooter wagon for use on the wide palmetto barrens. Two shooters ride on top while the dogs range ahead. When the dogs point the wagon halts about a hundred yards from the point and the shooters move up on foot.
