- "Rocky Mountain National Park" Snow Globe, 1960-1970 - Tourist attractions offered souvenir seekers something new beginning in the 1950s: inexpensive plastic snow globes. These evolved from fancier versions through innovations in plastics and manufacturing technology, and they quickly became connected with travel. Snow globes were fun to collect, easy to transport, and served as both proof of the journey and a lasting representation of vacation memories.

- Air Mail Service Boeing 40 Airplane Heading East over the Rocky Mountains, 1928 - Passenger accommodations were sparse on a Boeing 40, but the airplane primarily was designed to carry mail. Early in its production, the airplane's original water-cooled Liberty V-12 engine was replaced with an air-cooled Pratt & Whitney radial engine. The air-cooled motor eliminated the need -- and excess weight -- of a radiator and water, increasing the airplane's payload and profitability.
