In the world of 1960s Monster goodness, here was a new one on me that I recented discovered.

Of course, we have all seen the "Mon-stirs" swizzle sticks of Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy, and Creature, as they are pretty common. But here is an example of a 1960s Frankenstein swizzle stick that very much resembles the look of TV's HERMAN MUNSTER I have never seen before. At first, I questioned its goofy approach to The Monster on being a much later take, because for the last 20-30 years goofy Frankensteins abound. But its the other one- the matching swizzle stick that dates them both; it's the classic 'good time Charlie' drunk seen on hundreds of bar related items from the 1950s and 60s- cards, napkins, and the like. Drunken Charlie is also holding a bowling ball- another earmark to the era of these.

So now Herman is hanging with a drunk- and smoking a butt on top of it.




Hurray! A newly discovered vintage monster item!  ;)

 :D :D :D :D :D

I looked at the pic magnified, and it certainly appears "Herman like" to me. Nice score Bob. Go reward yourself with a martini .. never shaken but always stirred. With your new swizzle stick of course.  ;)

GREAT score!!!

I gotta go to that flea market.

You have a great eye for a bargain, too.  I would have walked right by the little mice for $25.00.




If it was 25 bucks I would have walked by too, good thing I only paid 25 cents!  ;)  ;D

Holy Cow!  I went back and re-read your post.  I missed the decimal point.

I'm taking a roll of quarters and heading for your flea market.

Let us know if you list your find on eBay.  It would be fun to see what it brings.

I usually don't post new purchases, but I felt this was just too weird and cool not to share.

Actually,that isn't a punching bag, it is a "Car Pool Buddy" meant to wear a jacket and simulate another passenger in a car pool lane. it is a novelty gift that was sold through Johnson Smith and other catalogs.

It's that old?  It looks newer.  I never knew that existed.  It's definitely a very cool item.
