Treasures from the Vault: “If You Want to Know Anything, Ask The Mystic Oracle"

Well, maybe not anything. The Mystic Oracle, a novelty souvenir made for the Furness Bermuda Line steamship company, does however divine the answer to twelve questions about Bermuda tourism—by wireless! It should be noted that “wireless” in 1924 meant “wireless radio waves” as opposed to the wireless networks of today. But let’s not let that tarnish the magic.
