Wow. An A-frame, stand alone Baskin Robbins store that was probably located somewhere in southern California in the late 60's or early 70's. I love the fluorescent lights along the top edge and the use of the multiple signs. Now I just need to find a nice professional night shot of it.
These 3 great animal graphics come from a group of ceramic tiles that they sold at the Milwaukee County Zoological Park. Great design and surprising color choices. I like these so much that they are hanging in my bathroom.
This 2 sided broadsheet has some articles from 1963 and earlier on Forrest Morrow and his Wood-imals. It was printed up by Forrest Morrow, probably as a promotional piece for his artwork.
The Woodamals also lived at the Santa's Village in Dundee IL. They are not quite as exotic standing next to a gigantic candy cane but the kids still love them.
I just got my show postcards and they came out great. If you want me to mail you one, send me an email (grickily@yahoo.com). Also went to the framer today and ordered some frames for the show. Still much to be done....
I loved them as a kid although I only think I had them a few times. When I started collecting, they were at the top of my want list. Through the years I have gotten a couple of the boxes and a number of the cels. The commercials had the good Libby the Kid battling Mean Gene, classic stuff.
I just got a new slide scanner so I pulled out a few I had never scanned. Up top is one of a Futuro house from 1972. Below are a couple of 1950's Disneyland pics.
Mister Softee issued this set of 10 full color cards in 1962. I have no idea how they were given out but for some reason quantities of the cards seem to show up. Still a real nice pretty card set.
