A Unopened pack of Playing cards from Fay's Drugs

So these are an unopened pack of Pinochle Playing Cards made in the 1980s for the long out of business Fay's Drugs chain of stores,This something I found when shopping at my local Thrift store one day and the funny thing is that I paid the same price on the tag for them 99 cents.

Former locations that I know about.

• Mayville New York Location has been open as a pharmacy for almost 100 years starting in the 1920s under many different names. It is currently a Rite aid.
• Yorkshire New York, location is currently a Rite aid.

Thrift stores finds Yarn edition.

So over the last few years I Have been finding a lot of old stuff at Thrift stores that pertains to my interests of retail history,as well as to get yarn for my mom to nit hats with.

Now the yarn itself is great but getting the labels is just as wonderful as we shall now see with these photos.

First up is a mid 1970s GC Murphy's Wimtuk Orlon acrylic Yarn.

Next up is a late 1970s Woolworth/Woolco Knitting Yarn as you can see it was 87 cents when it was brand  new and what is not shown in this pic is that the yarn was made by Monsanto. 

Note It was going for a 1.39 back in the 80s,Also note The 1980s JC Penney Reduced Red tag for 99 cents.

Who also made this next piece a mid 1980s JC Penney Soft.N.Safe Flame Retardant yarn,With two different tags on it.

Next up is a 1984 Ames Department Store Black acrylic yarn going for 59 cents made by National yarn crafts.

Note 49 cent Green tag is from the Thrift store I got it from.

Who also made This mid 1980s Hills department store Yarn going for a 1.17 back in the day.

I got one more piece of yarn label to show but that will be for a different post that will be posted later in the coming weeks.
