    Hi everyone,
    Is there anything here that could date this one? I've searched a bunch of the dates for colleges and other sites on here and they are all old institutions.
    Thanks for any input!

    Ohhhh....that's great!

    I guess living in Maine makes me kind of an expert. Unfortunately I can't really see the names of the places. But judging from the graphics, I would say it's 50s or 60s, as it's similar to other Maine souvenirs from this era that I've seen. Does it say "Vacationland" on it anywhere? Maine started using that term to attract tourists in the 1960s.

    I'd be interested in this if you're selling it.

    My opinion is solely based on graphics and I agree with 50s-60s.

    Ooohhh...those close ups make me love it even more. Thanks for posting them!

    All of that stuff is still there except for the paper mills, which closed mostly in the 80s as I recall. So yea, still sticking with it being 50s/60s and AMAZING.
