Yes, such things exist.

Pretty Dull

 

You might think that this is a picture of The Blue-Hilled Mountains of Virginia, but I cannot confirm. The odd colouring stems from the poorer colour stability of Ektachrome slide films (and other E6-based processes. Kodachrome For The Win.

Funnily enough, this slide dates from May 1960. I wonder what else happening sixty years ago...

OK. I'm flummoxed.

Dealers in what?  Or is Nashua a brand name for something?  Kitchen Spatulas?

It's probably Nasua, the town in New Hampshire, but more questions than answers.
