Paragon Park paper weights

2 paper weights that date back to the opening of the park in 1905. Perhaps not discernable in this image, but both photos show the park still under construction. The lagoon appears in both images and is only half filled. The tower still has scaffolding on it.

Paragon Park Souvenir Silhouettes

~ SOUVENIR SILHOUETTE POSTCARDS ~

Nice group of Postcards from Paragon Park, Nantasket Beach, Hull, Massachusetts. They certainly look hand cut to me. Silhouettes are glued onto stock, blank cards.

The two ladies in the middle are mounted on cards that are embossed "Cut by B. Shapiro PARAGON PARK" Both have blank backs. Both are undated.

The framed piece on the left is hand dated Aug. 12, 1906

The men at the top and the gentleman on the right are dated 1913.

It's a nice, little record of the people who visited the park.

This shows the majority of my Paragon Park souvenir china collection. These pieces date from 1905-1917. The park opened in 1905. These pieces are German made; and when the U.S. declared war on Germany in 1917, it ended the import of these pieces. I will post close-ups of some of my favorites in the future.
