Re: (erielack) The Game of Phoebe Snow



Apparently, it was a board game produced around 1910.  It has shown up a
couple of times on ebay but it has always gone for big bucks when I have
tried to bid on it.

It is interesting to note that besides the engineering firsts of the
Lackawanna it was really a pioneer of modern advertising techniques.  Phoebe
Snow herself was the first Ronald McDonald making appearances for the
company she represented.
