You Axed For It - photos from the Freddie Poe collection.

Freddie picked up this intriguing 22" X 16" framed poster at Chiller Con in 2015:



He was guessing that it was originally a 1970s carnival prize or sold at a Spencer Gifts kind of store. Does anyone have a better idea?

Incidentally, I should mention that the "poster" isn't made of paper. It's a rectangle of glass in a frame.

Here's a picture of Freddie and Zacherley from a Chiller con:



The photo was actually taken by our own Gasport! Among his accumulated treasures Freddie also has the tux Zacherley wore in the photo above:



The tux was one of the ones Zach wore on his TV show.

One of Freddie's most prized possessions is this award that Zacherley received in 1959 from the Sylvania television company for airing the most horrible films on TV:







Freddie got it for $600 at Zacherley's estate auction sale.

Here from Freddie's collection is something not often seen - a monster toy from the sixties that targetted girls!

Here is a very cool looking  7" X 17" cardboard picture of the Phantom in a wooden frame belonging to Freddie Poe:



He bought it at Spencer Gifts in 1972 or 1973. Others including one of the Mummy were available.

So here as well is Freddie's Spencer Gifts Mummy poster:

Here from Freddie's collection is a picture of the Road to Mandalay pulp from 1926, the same year as the movie:

Here is the very cool Funny Travel Poster #13 from the collection of Freddie Poe:



It was part of a 24 poster set issued by Topps in 1967 although it's possible that the set was again reissued in the seventies. Each poster is 9 3/4" X 18 1/2" with artwork that appears to be by Wally Wood.

Here are pictures of Freddie Poe's Hamilton's Invaders playset:







Here's hoping that Horrible Hamilton and Spooky Spider clean house!

Freddie commissioned Jim Kaffenberger to paint up repros of a number of Basil Gogos' Famous Monsters of Filmland covers:

Here from Freddie's collection is the stamp sheet that might (or might not) have been available from the Monster Times newspaper through a mail-in offer back in the 1970's:



Did any other UMAer take advantage of this or any other stamp offers from Monster Times or Warren's Captain Company?

I'm pretty sure it was TMT, but I'd have to look through a bunch of old issues for the ad.

Here's Freddie's framed poster from Hammer Studios 1962 release of The Phantom of the Opera:

There ya go. TMT "Monster Stamps" review. Along with a coupon to order yours.

Yay, victory! That's it! In what issue number and date of Monster Times is that ad found?
