Seller's description:
IMPORTANT: This is a Vintage ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC Roller Skate Rink sticker from the time period / vintage detailed below in the item's description. IT IS NOT a modern reproduction, copy, scan or counterfeit item.
ITEM: Lot of 1. Roller Skating RINK Label ( also referred to as a Sticker or Decal ).
RINK name: Listing of 10 ROLLER RINKS in the AMERICA ON WHEELS chain
LOCATION: New Jersy, New York, Virginia, Washington D.C.
VINTAGE: mid to late1940's
SPECIFICS: multi-colored. This label lists 10 different Eastern RINKS that were members of the U.R.O. (United Rink Operators) Association and part of the AMERICA ON WHEELS chain of Rinks. This Label comes in several variations ( and color schemes) and would be Changed/Updated as Rinks were ADDED to ( or eliminated) from the AMERICA ON WHEELS chain of rinks. The listing of the ST.NICHOLAS ARENA (which opened in September 1943) and the Alexandria Arena and the National Arena proves that this sticker was issued after late 1943.
The TEN Rinks listed on this Sticker are: NATIONAL ARENA ( Washington D.C.), TWIN CITY ARENA ( Elizabeth, N.J.), PERTH AMBOY ARENA ( Perth Amboy, N.J.), MT. VERNON ARENA ( Mt. Vernon, N.Y.), ST. NICHOLAS ARENA ( NYC, N.Y.), ALEXANDRIA ARENA ( Alexandria, VA.), BOULEVARD ARENA ( Bayonne, N.J.), HACKENSACK ARENA ( Hackensack, N.J.), CAPITOL ARENA ( Trenton, N.J.), PASSIAC SKATING RINK (Passiac, N.J.).
Approximate SIZE: large sticker measures 5-1/2 x 7-3/4 inches
CONDITION: EXCELLENT or Better.
Backround Information: The 1920's through the late 1950's were the " Golden Age " in terms of popularity and public usage for ROLLER RINKS in America. Very popular " dating activity" and the place to meet and socialize for high school and college students on weeknights and week-end nights. Very popular family activity on week end days. Literally thousands of different rinks across the country during the 1940's. With the introduction / wide usage of wood or metal " skate cases", many/most rinks began to print & distribute " Labels " advertising their Rink. Patrons would apply these stickers to their roller skate case. Most often these stickers had " lick'em stick'em " gummed backs. On occasion, Rinks would issue " water dip " transfer DECALS or STICKERS equipped with peel-off backing paper. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED: the Labels / Stickers that we are offering are of the " lick'em stick'em " gummed back variety.
