Title: The 1960's My childhood , The Monster Craze book
Post by: jimkaff on March 01, 2025, 04:18:58 PM
Saw an ad for this book and bought it blindly, was very surprised and happy with it. Nearly 300 pages and mostly photos.  posting some sample pix if anyone interested. I found on Amazon.

According to the header card on the "Ghost" one it's a decal, so the others are probably decals as well.

Yeah, I thought it might be one of those Mexican/Spanish stickers that you paste into a book. Was trying to find a name. Might be "Decalcomania"?

Nope. "Decalcomania is a technique for transferring images from one surface to another."

These are water decals. Manufactured as"Made By Monte". Monte was a car painter and pin striper out of L.A.  Many claim he invented Rat Fink and not Roth.

Oh, actual decals. Sometimes they call stickers "decals". Thanks for the name!

Got it-- Lots of pictures, not much else.  Have to say I would have liked more commentary and context, but if you just want to see the items, a lot of them pretty rare-- then you won't be sorry you bought it.

I still have one of those decals that is unused in its cellophane envelope. The one I have is The Brain which shows a brain with tongue out & eyes popped withe the word EEEyow behind it.
