Post by: freddie poe on June 02, 2014, 01:49:37 PM
Hey fiends. this is not a sales pitch as its not my item BUT if i didn't already have one of these i wouldn't hesitate to bid nor would i be telling all you fiends about it! LOL! this is one of the BEST buckets i have seen other than the Glenn Strange one. the artwork looks very similar to Jack Davis work. check it out and if i were you I'd bid to own.                                             http://www.ebay.com/itm/HALLOWEEN-MONSTER-BUCKET-VINTAGE-W-FRANKENSTEIN-WOLFMAN-DRACULA-PHANTOM-MORE-/331219852446?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d1e3ddc9e (http://www.ebay.com/itm/HALLOWEEN-MONSTER-BUCKET-VINTAGE-W-FRANKENSTEIN-WOLFMAN-DRACULA-PHANTOM-MORE-/331219852446?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d1e3ddc9e)

  Great call Freddie. I just saw this tonight and I couldn't remember if it was the one in your collection or not.

Super cool graphics indeed. Is this definitely from the 60s?

Actually the bucket is from the 80's or 90's, the art work is from Lee Ames how to draw monsters book. Great book, I remember it fondly from when I was a kid.

I'll third that. Early '90s in my experience.

Not sure if it would be possible to date these via an old price sticker? Mine still has a TG&Y price sticker on it.
