Character, Movie, and TV

OK guys. Something like this is extremely rare. Vintage Charlie Chaplain items like this are nearly impossible to find. They came out of an old theatre in Brooklyn, NY. They are 11" tall thin paper handbills that they passed out in front of the theater to attact customers. It advertises D. W. Griffith's The Fall of Babylon which was made in 1919, so that is the time period these are from. It shows the second feature was Charlie Chaplan's comedy "Carman" which was made in 1917. This was the era of the silent movie and so it says "music throughout the entire show". What that means is that some guy played the organ while you watched the silent movies. This is a very good piece and we are proud to be able to offer it. These are the only examples we've ever seen. We bought them right and so are passing them on at an amazing price.

#CH075 - Black Stranglers Pin

Vintage well made black enameled Stranglers pins. These are a little over an inch and a quarter wide with a pin on the back. The Stranglers were one of the first punk rock groups, and were the opening act for the Ramones in 1976. They had a string of top 10 hits in England in 1977 when they mixed their style with new wave and Gothic Rock. They are a very famous band in England and have a cult following in the US. This should be an extremely good item as it is from their hayday and there was very little merchandise made for them during this time period. They should retail for at least $6 - $10 each. These came from a fellow who sold merchandise at rock concerts and various events between about 1977 and 1978. He still had these in storage. They are well made and in great shape. This kind of stuff doesn't come around very often.

#SIGN003 - Double Sided Florida Oranges Sunshine Sign - Anita Bryant

Fantastic vintage full color 17" tall two-sided paper sign with a guy taking pictures of a cute girl with an orange. The girl is Anita Bryant who was 19 at the time and was runner up in the Miss America pageant that year. She had a number of popular songs and movies right after that and became the spokesperson for Florida Oranges n 1969. She came back into the public eye in the mid 1970s with her controversial views on homosexuality. These signs are from very early in her career. Reverse pictures a period golf course in Florida with more advertising for oranges. They are actually two separate signs that are joined at the top and were meant to hang over a wire or string. They can easily be cut apart and sold separately. These are super colorful and fantastic. Pictures don't do them justice. They would be great framed in a kitchen. They came from the basement of a large store in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania called Trimble's. They 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 excellent condition except for very minor aging or slight creases across the top. They are from 1959 (some of the materials with them were dated). We will roll them for shipping.
