"Transfer Picture Book. Made in Japan." Cover of a small booklet containing a few pages of decals or stamps. The creature on the cover is Mogera , a robot with laser beam eyes that first appeared in Earth Defense Force , a 1957 Japanese science fiction film that was released two years later in the United States as The Mysterians (yes, that's where the music group Question Mark and the Mysterians got its name). The Mysterian Space Station, a ringed planet, a Sputnik -like satellite, and a couple of rockets are visible in the sky above Mogera (did his laser beams miss that rocket or are they going right through it?).

"I'm bugs 'bout skatin' at Skateaway, Scranton, Pennsylvania." A roller skating rink label.

"Maple Grove, Route 30, Lincoln Highway, one mile west of Lancaster, Pa." A roller skating rink label (or sticker, as they were usually called, although there's no adhesive on the other side) from the Maple Grove Roll Arena, which was part of Maple Grove Park, a now-defunct amusement park that was located along the Lincoln Highway just west of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

For a similar roller skating label, see America on Wheels by The Pie Shops , over on Flickr.
