Laffing Sal - there were more than just the one Laffing Sal at Playland. Per the latest NAPHA magazine, there were 4 just at Playland plus many Sals & Sams across the country, all created for the Philadelphia Toboggan Company by the King Cole Papier Mache' Company. The Santa Cruz Sal is the latest to be available publicly. Playland Not at the Beach(El Cerrito, CA) has two. FYI - you can get the book and DVD at http://www.playland-not-at-the-beach.org/
Cheers,

p.s. I'm looking for Playland photos from 1940-1972 for inclusion in Playland At The Beach: The Golden Years. I need to borrow originals to scan or scans at 300dpi or better. Submissions will be credited.
