VINTAGE 1950s ITEMS
Displaying 1 - 20 of 120
#PL118 - Politically Incorrect United Nations Pen Knife
Yes, they do say United Nations on them in embossed gold lettering! Since the United Nations is an international peace keeping organization, these are very politically incorrect. They are old vintage souvenir knives that were sold around New York City right after the United Nations building was finished in 1950. They are good quality with brass grommets and a stainless steel blade marked "Japan". The iridescent green resin on sides was likely inspired by the green glass windows of the UN Secretariat tower. 2-5/8” long. Excellent unused condition. We had some of these about 10 years ago and they sold like wildfire. This bunch came from the same store in the New York area where the owner turned up another case for us that was buried in his warehouse. These are a very good retail item at $6 - $10

#CC040 - Pops-Rite Coca Cola Popcorn Bag
Vintage circa 1950s Pops-Rite Coca Cola popcorn bags. 8 1/2" long. I bought the one case of these that turned up in a warehouse in Tennessee. The case says Blevins noiseless bags on it. The Blevins Popcorn Co. was founded by James Victor Blevins in 1945 and was nationally famous. He trademarked the name Pops-Rite around 1948 and started the “Presidential Popcorn Poll”, in which movie goers requested a Republican or Democrat box for their popcorn. The popcorn poll predicted Truman would defeat Dewey, and for 20 years thereafter accurately predicted the results of the presidential elections. Blevins sold the Pops-Rite business in 1961. They are in really nice condition.

We had a bunch of these a lot of years ago and they sold really well at shows when we put them out with a couple of quart milk bottles in them.

#SIGN006 - Florida Valencia Oranges Sign
Vintage color 14" wide cardboard store sign. Colorful picture of a hand showing the size of an old glass with the words "Drink a Full Big Glass Every Day". The space to the left was where they wrote the prices. Uncommon sign. These are from somewhere between 1952 and 1956 when the image on this sign was the logo that appeared on most advertising for Florida oranges. They came from the basement of a large store in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania called Trimble's. The store got signs with their deliveries and threw them in piles in the basement. One of our long time customers rescued these (thank's Bob) and a number of others. They were never used, and are in very good condition, but some do have minor small age stains near the edges.
