Found this today at an antique shop and had to have it! I've seen em in peoples galleries before, but now I have one And its got quite a stretch on it compared to some I've seen.
I remember years ago watching a guy at the fair stretch them . They would put them down in hot sand to heat them , then would sell them your choice at a buck a piece . Could have had them in games as well but I never did see any .
Lol, we just thought it was a neat find. Someone said @ some fairs they had them full of colored liquids too and you could win them, since I was born in the 80's I never remember seeing one at the fair. I've seen quite a few surfacing online and thought for what I paid for it it was a decent price, since the only other one I found was on ebay, hardly stretched, and $22, lol.
