You never know what is going to show up at a flea market. Today was one of the good ones. We found a 1974 original piece of art from the Nancy comic strip by Ernie Bushmiller. His art is so pure and the gag is so great it really blows me away.
This sheet of produce creatures decals is such a classic piece of americana. Fruit and vegetables sculpted and then made for placement on the bathroom mirror. Crazy.
Sheriff John was one of the most popular Los Angeles local kids TV show hosts. They did not produce much stuff but finding 3 different 78 records at once was a real treat.
I don't often buy old toilet paper but these Northern Tissue packages from 1974 were to great to pass up even if they were a bit embarrasing to carry back to the car......
Dan- amazing luck at the swap meet. I would have loved to see you carrying the Northern tissue!
ReplyDeleteThat toilet paper has no chamomile or jojoba or even aloe for crying out loud! Was everyone a heathen back in 1974?
ReplyDeleteHow do eight rolls of toilet paper manage to to escape their manufactured destiny for thirty two years is beyond me. I wonder what it would be like to use toilet paper that is older than I am...
