EUCLID BEACH OH/Geo. Wash. 73mm x c.3mm Medal Grt! AMUSEMENT PARK c5 oz $4-s+hUS

A Bronze or Copper 73mm Souvenir MEDAL in unused condition that weighs about 5 OUNCES on my postal scale. It has darkened a bit over the years. It is a souvenir of one of the great amusement parks in the USA!!! It is EUCLID BEACH PARK in Cleveland OH. (No Beach but located on the edge of Lake Erie!) I grew up in the greater Cleveland area and every year we got special school passes for reduced rates at a particular time of the year. Also BOTH my father and his father worked there at various times. With one of their old pay receipts we got to get on a lot of the rides for FREE!!! I was set up at a coin show once here in CA and a guy came by asking for amusement park items. I said No, but that I grew up Cleveland and frequented the Park! His mouth dropped and he said, "May I touch you?!?!?!?" (I shook hands with him.) The park is no longer there but for years the popcorn ball store in front near the street was openn for business; also there was a major bus stop in front.
