I took these pictures en route to Seattle to do a Seminar for Intel. This mini-museum contained various designed objects from Toledo, OH. At some point companies there discovered that they could sell more product if they made the products more visually appealing. This exhibit chronicled a number of the designs that came from that movement...
Note, the quality of these pictures reflects the limitations of the camera in my Sony Clie NX70V...
Here's an interesting advertisement on display. I love that old font, and the use of the word 'too'
Here are some Deco-looking tricycles
Of course, what exhibit on Toledo could be complete without a scale...
A radio with some ancient markings and various beverage serving glassware
