    I have seen "Sante Fe" on some hand-lettered models but not on a plaque like this before.

    Almost 47 years ago to be in the ball park. The plaque was engraved in 1969.

    No spell check, no Bluetooth?

    I used to have this really old and weak computer. I word-processed letters and printed them out in dot-matrix. I wrote to one friend that I had to write that way because computer wouldn't do internet. But the computer did have spellcheck. It flashed and said "I do not recognize the word 'internet'. Maybe you intended to say 'interned'. " Really old computer.
