Picture of Fox window display

Post by shoestring »

There turned out to be 5 pictures, all about the same size. There are two of the inside of the factory at 18th and Windrim which I think I've posted here already, one of the factory - maybe the one built in 1924 that those floor plans correspond to? - I have no idea, and two of window displays. This is one of the window display photos. You guys may know what year this was probably taken by the display but there's nothing written on it to tell me. I'm going to put it on Ebay - I'll update/edit when I have an auction # - here's the auction number -181294126438 . I'd love to hear thoughts as to what year this display might have been - thanks - Tom Godshalk

....... looks to be the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco to me.

addendum: I'm definitely full of crap.... I looked at it too quickly on my laptop.

There are many differences as compared with the Fox display at the Panama-Pacific in San Francisco. Wall backdrops are way different, those columns and the arch were not in the design of the P-P booth, nor were the stacked guns. In my opinion these pics were from a different Show or Exposition. I like that one standup that says "All Gas Hardening Room" ..... data point for those techical guys who wonder about the earlier Fox-Phila case hardening procedures. Silvers

Looks like a large sporting goods or department store window display to me. I think we want to zero in on the logo in the center of the drape at the top of the window.
