beastfan11 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 l stumbled across this recently on eBay and wanted them as display pieces. The pin I'm told is from the 1940's and the cup and saucer set is from the 1960's. Figure some of you might like to take a look! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Side note: EnterTRAINMent Junction has a pretty good Coney Island memorabilia collection in addition to their display. http://entertrainmentjunction.com/train-journeys/coney-island-display/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastfan11 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Bumping my own thread because I can. Now that I’m a big kid and have my own house I can do whatever I want. So after eating ice cream bars for dinner I decided to hang these rad pictures that I recently acquired. I bought all three on eBay and were all supposedly of Coney. The bottom two clearly show The Shooting Star and Wildcat and the other shows a great shot of the midway. The last one I’m unsure of. You be the judge! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombraiderTy Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Cool pictures! If the one you're uncertain of is the Ferris Wheel, that indeed is Coney. The coaster in the background is Shooting Star - you can see its left turn at the top of the drop and its tunnel down below. Here's a shot from a somewhat-similar angle showing those same two things. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Knew I recognized that tunnel! Was unsure due to the angle. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Very cool seeing all that old memorabilia! If you visit Coney, there is a cool museum set up just behind the Swing A Round. It has tons of cool stuff in there. It is actually right next door to the rides office. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
