Yes! Germany had some fox-colored bees and some white striped bumbles

Bumble bee and three purple puffball flowers. Maybe some kind of allium?

The Kootenay sturgeon-nosed canoe!! I live for Gold Rush period detail.

A diagram of the Kootenay sturgeon-nosed canoe with a pointer prow like a Greek galley. Caption: This peculiar craft was especially suitable for rough lake waters and was used in only one other area in the world; the Amur river region in Asia.

Sigh, “terms” not teens. This is the zine in question

Cover of Canada West magazine issue Winter 1971 with B&W cover photo of three “miners drifting for gold on Spruce creek - Arlington District-1899”. Big western hats and a mine cart are in evidence.

While digging through boxes, I found this collector piece from 1994. (@alexkammer.bsky.social surely knows more about it.) I think it was printed for staff only, but perhaps it was a Gen Con item. The back cover lists all the companies licensed products by year, so it feels very inside-baseball.

TSR 20th Anniversary booklet, with the 7 logos of the company to that date on an orange-yellow gradient background.

So, I have dug up some antique #StarWars merch: trapper keeper folders from 1977! When I also owned a Star Wars LP with disco remix of the SW Theme! Who among my SW friends knows where I could auction or donate these?
