The dress is tie-dyed and two of the gifts include a bright orange, mushroom-shaped footstool and a hookah. Contact info can be found on their website at www.hsd.org. Chris Cascio Pottsgrove Manor historic site Pottstown, PA -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kimberly Kenney, Curator Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2006 11:10 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MUSEUM-L] looking for mid-20th c. wedding artifacts to borrow Hello all, I am working on an exhibition on wedding traditions that will feature our collection of wedding dresses. I am also highlighting "typical wedding gifts" of several eras. I am looking to borrow some additional wedding-related materials. Specifically, I would like to find a bridal board game (I don't have a name or manufacturer of this game -- it was mentioned generically in one of the books I am using for research) that was made in 1960 where the players went around the board collecting the elements of the wedding -- cake, dress, rings, etc. Also, I would like to find an original wedding Barbie. If your collection has anything we could borrow to enhance the story of the commercialization of the "traditional white wedding" in the mid-20th century (or even earlier) please contact me privately. Thanks so much! Kim Kenney Curator Kimberly A. Kenney, Curator Wm.
