Weird-Ohs Items!

[Hepcat]

I only have a few Weird-Ohs kits, a Hawk  catalog, the promo poster and notebook binder I recently posted.

These would be my top priorities in Weird-Oh related items at the moment:

1. Ideal Weird-Ohs board game



2. Hawk Totally Fab Frantic



3. Hawk Weirdsville Customizing Set



4. An original empty but un-burst Fleer Weird-Ohs cards display box



5. The SPP Weird-Ohs binder that you yourself own:





6.  An original Silly Surfers/Weird-Ohs record album.





7. Daddy Magic Slate like these:



And if we're including Nutty Mad related items:

8. Marx Nutty Mads! Target Game

Three Weird-Ohs frame tray puzzles from an auction last month. I've seen many boxed puzzles from this series, but never frame trays.

[Hepcat]

Cool! I didn't know those frame puzzles existed either.

Were they released together with these regular Weird-Oh puzzles in 1963 by the E.E. Fairchild Corp or were they released later?

[RPM]

The frame trays are also 1963.

Here are a couple of shots of the shelf in my model cabinet devoted to the Hawk Weird-Ohs, Silly Surfers and Frantics kits:

These would be my top priorities in Weird-Oh related items at the moment:

6. An original Silly Surfers/Weird-Ohs record album.

The tracks on the above album can be heard here on Youtube:

Here are unobscured images of four pieces of Bigbud's original art:

There's Weird-oh original art! Bill Campbell is a great guy and painter!

Gotta get my Hodad painting in on this party! Mr. William Campbell gave me this painting in 1993.....love it!

Also got these (originals) from Mr. Campbell.........

Hawk Weird-Ohs hobby shop store promo posters. Drag Hag is from a recent auction and Huey's Hut Rod is from my collection.

Here's the bigger picture of the Huey's Hut Rod promo poster that you previously posted which I've managed to unobscure:

Here are pictures of rkoenn's latest Weird-Oh builds:











I really dig the fluorescent colours!

Here from 1965 is a cool flyer for Hawk Frantics and Silly Surfers:

Another SPP Weird-Ohs binder.

[Hepcat]

Mmmmmm, I love those Weird-Ohs binders! I'm not sure how many different ones SPP released though or whether they were all released at the same time.

[Hepcat]

Here is a page from an SPP catalog featuring the Weird-Ohs binders.

I'm presuming that was the 1964 SPP catalog because that's the date found on the binders. Here's another page from an SPP catalogue picturing binders:



But I'm still not sure whether we've unraveled all the salient details behind SPP's Weird-Ohs binder releases. It seems though that the Digger, Daddy, Davey and Freddy Flameout binders listed in the above catalogue were available in green, red, yellow and black. Here are the pictures I've managed to find:





The Davey binder above has resided in Monolith's collection since he was a kid in the sixties.

SPP released at least two more Weird-Ohs binders not shown in the above catalogue.





The yellow binder above is from RPM's collection.





So I count at least six different binders. Each was perhaps available in four different colours. Plus this unconfirmed report of a "teal" binder:

Here's what appears to be a printer's proof of a sheet for an SPP sales brochure indicating that SPP also produced a Weird-Ohs pencil case:



Since I've never seen even a picture of this Weird-Ohs pencil case, I'd venture to say that it's an item that could legitimately be termed "scarce".
