"Vintage" National Park Memorabilia

At first glance, these "mid century" National Park-themed 10 x 11-inch "carved wooden bowls" (seen in an Antique Collective in La Crosse WI) seemed kind of cool.  On closer inspection they turned out to be mass-produced molded plastic souvenirs from the 70s, which substantially reduced the coolness factor...meh, no sale.

No big loss though, the TSG gewgaw display shelves are at capacity. Now, if we ever came across them in mini fridge magnet versions, they'd be an instant purchase.

If you ever run out of fridge door space, you could scarf a door from a busted fridge (local dump?), hang on that your wall, and voila - instant space for additional magnet-based thingies.

I actually do have an overflow magnet spot -- a metallic "Pan Am South Sea Isles" sign -- but real estate is getting kind of limited there. A magnet cull is definitely looming.
