Dang eBay....I got what I thought was my AMAZING purchase...and unfortunately I was sent the wrong thing by the seller. It was an honest mistake, and hopefully It will get resolved once I send him the wrong one back...boo.

That's happened to me before. Really annoying.

After looking into the seller on the internet, I found him, and this isn't the first mention of this happening. Mine showed up yesterday a bit worse for wear, but at least I have it. More to come once I get my mind wrapped on how to conserve this piece for my collection...I know pretty cryptic huh? Hopefully it pans out to be everything that I hope for!

Ozark Gal spurred me to fire up the old machine to see what we could find...

The Pazazz cards were a great piece in the same era as the kids books, with several of the same illustrations.
The cards include the Blacksmith, The Wilderness Church, The Cave, The Float Trip, Capt. Dugan's Diving bell, the Candle Maker, The Candy Maker, The Soap Maker etc...Many great illustrations.
Here are the box graphics

and one image from a card...Now I know I am going to be asked...let me see this...or let me see this...I'll see what I can do!

OOPS...it looks like I forgot to crop this one down... ;D Is that BetaMike? nah...no mustache for him...

Sorry Beta I knew no one else from the candy store to connect that one to!

Junior I knew that would get someone! you mean that much of it isn't enough? It is a similar drawing to the one of the early 80's "wish you were here" books of the interior with the periscope. I won't be back at my desk for a few days so we will just have to eagerly await the image!

I said I would, so here it is...The card from the Pazazz card game that Junior just had to see. As you can see, it is a cropped version of a larger drawing that appeared one of the kids books.

Speaking of way back, I was browsing page 1 - waaaayyyyy back in this post and happened across the MWA picture.  I'm wondering if it could be from the organization of the Modern Woodmen of America insurance company (founded in the late 1800 's).  I have attached a link to their history page, and there is an office on Hwy 160 in Forsyth, MO.

I had a high school pal named Marty who was an employee of Sammy Lane Boat Cruises in the early 80s for a couple of years. He played the pirate that robbed the tour boats, and hung out at the old dock isolated down the lake where the boats turned back to Branson. The next year, he studied and got his pilot license and then was a pilot or captain of the tour boat itself. As a 15 year old kid, I remember hearing the pirate cannon on Taneycomo discharge about twice an hour. I lived on Eiserman Street in Branson, just about three blocks from the lake. Thanks for sharing Rube.

Anyone know when the Pirate Cruise stopped running? Was it still going in the early 90s? I seem to remember those brochure pictures, just wanted to make sure they weren't false memories.
