Vintage Monster Charms

[Mike Scott]

these just arrived this afternoon:

Those are repurposed pencil toppers, right?

[Count Zero]

yeah, i actually wasn't sure if it was a gumball premium or not until this set of 3 were located in this box amongst other vending items:

[Hepcat]

How/where was the box discovered? Were you in on the discovery? And what else was in the box?

[Count Zero]

it was a flea market find by an acquaintance - i would love to find something like this in the wild!
the box was full of all sorts of penny king vending charms & prizes.

[Count Zero]

check out this little Kong charm



it's almost identical to this mail order Kong bank

nice find!   that Penny Wise box is sweet.  any more monster charms?

PS I cannot seem to get photobucket or tinypic to work anymore to post photos, the sights get hijacked by soft porn and won't let me do anything anymore.

so no more photos unless I can get Count Zero to post for me.

I finally got it to work.    wtf.

[horrorhunter]

I got so tired of being assaulted by ads and poor performance on Photobucket and Tinypic that I started using flickr when I post pics that I take of my stuff.

For general posting I try to post netpics whenever possible, and of those I try to use Pinterest pics because hotlinks stay intact on those almost without fail.

Thanks Horror Hunter.   Ill join Flickr, I like taking pictures of my stuff!

It's really strange.  It is made of rubber and the back of his head is flat, like those busts that are wall-hangings.
