Peace, Love, and Hippie Collectibles

Items from the hippie era have become very popular collectibles. The hippie period lasted from about 1967 till maybe 1975. Many of the items that were sold in stores during that time period had flowery and psychedelic designs that often said Peace or Love and are easily recognizable.

It all started in 1967 in San Francisco with the legendary Summer of Love. By 1969 it was in full swing across the entire country and the Woodstock Festival became a monumental event. Eventually, it spread worldwide. Hippie fashions and values had a brief, but major effect on culture, music, television, film, literature, and the arts.

#MSH001 - Group of 3 Vintage Hippie Chokers

You get 3 for $4 (that's $1.34 each). Vintage circa 1970 hippie chokers. They are all about 16" in diameter and in great shape. Colors will vary, but two of the types have those peculiar turquoise and tan colors that were "hip" during that time period. They were in dry storage, have held up very well and can still be used. They all have sturdy metal clasps. You probably can't buy a new one for anywhere near this price. I found these in the basement of an old novelty distributorship in the Columbus, Ohio area. They are in amazing condition. Puka type chokers like this were first popularized by surfers in the mid 1960s, and became standard garb for hippies by the late 1960s. These should easily sell for $5 each or more if you have a vintage clothing store.
