#ZZA114 - Complete 16 Card Exhibit Supply Then and Now Male Movie Star Cards

Vintage complete set of "Then and Now" arcade card with male movie stars of the day and their childhood pictures. Circa 1950. The set includes Tony Curtis, Ray Milland, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Steve Cochran, Tyrone Power, Humphrey Bogart, Rock Hudson, Fred MacMurray, William Holden, Gene Kelly, Mickey Rooney, Bing Crosby, Gregory Peck, Robert Stack, Dan Dailey, and Dale Robertson. These came from a closed arcade and were in the original bricks market Exhibit Supply. They are in near perfect condition. Some are "colorized". The complete sets like this are very rare. The individual cards turn up every once in awhile. The common ones retail for around $3, but the scarcer ones go for up to $10. Note that this is a very good group containing Bing Crosby, Mickey Rooney, Gene Kelly, Rock Hudson, and Humphrey Bogart which are all much better cards.

#CH079 - Ken Maynard Trick Rope in Original Cellophane Package

Vintage 1940's Ken Maynard toy TRICK ROPE in original package. 11" wide package says "toy trick rope - with the patented embedded swivel". These are in their original cellophane packaging (which is quite brittle and has tears), but the card and rope are in perfect condition. Even has a fake autograph on it. The patent number on the card is from the mid 1930s, however, guaging by how old he looks in the picture, I'd guess they are from around 1940. With his white cowboy hat, fancy shirt, and pair of six-shooters, Maynard appeared in more than 90 films from the 1920s to the mid-1940s before his career was ended by alcoholism. This was a warehouse find, but it wasn't huge and these won't be around forever. Trick ropes were sold by a lot of cowboy movie stars during this time period and usually go for $100 or more. This is a great item.

#CH210 - Model 'n Mold Sales Sheet with Susan's Show

Vintage 11" tall sales sheet for Model 'n Mold Modeling Dough. This was a Play Dough look alike product that was made in St. Louis in the 1950s. Says "A Susan's Show TV Item" "As featured by Susan" "A Product of CBS Television Enterprises". These are ad sheets that came out of the factory. Neat vintage pictures and they tell all about the product. There was pile of them, so we are going to give you a great price! Excellent condition. Susan's Show, starring 11 year old Susan Heinkel came to Chicago as Susie's Show in 1955. Critics argued that the choice of cartoons slowed the show down. WBBM-TV purchased a package Popeye cartoons that became so popular that CBS, the station's owner, decided to put the show on the network. The new network version was re-titled Susan's Show. It lasted for a couple of years.

#ZZA119 - Ultra Rare Complete Set of 12 Pacific Ocean Park 1¢ Arcade Postcards

Vintage 12 card set. Ocean Park was built in Santa Monica, CA in 1958 and closed in 1967. It was a very large park that was built to compete with Disneyland. However, city planners, in an effort to renew the area, demolished buildings and closed streets all around the park so people couldn't find there way in. Even though it was a huge park, it was forced to close it's doors and the contents were auctioned off in 1968. These cards are marked "Pacific Ocean Park Arcade 1¢" on the front and have a postcard back. They are 4 in 1 cards that are just like some of the Exhibit Supply cowboy cards and were likely made by them for the Park. I don't think I've ever seen a complete set before, but we found a stash of them. There are multiple cards with Roy Rogers, John Wayne, William Boyd and all the most popular cowboys. This is a very scarce and nice set.

It also has Buster Crabbe with a signature on the lower right. Ocean Park was built in Santa Monica, CA in 1958 and closed in 1967. It was a very large park that was built to compete with Disneyland.

#CH232 - Press Release Photo from Various TV Shows

Vintage press release photos we got from a guy who worked for the networks. All are from major TV networks and say things like Photo Division CBS television network press information. The one pictured is a typical example. It is a picture that was released for the press. The note says "Randy Harman stars as Jerry Sparrow..... in Sparrow...... double feature..... Friday, Jan. 27th on CBS". The notes are folded and come right off to show the whole picture. They are in perfect shape except a little curling which would come right out if you set them in a book overnight. No two alike. No special requests. We will give them out randomly. I'm sure some are very valuable but am not going to sort through them. Looks like mostly late 1970s, but some may be a little earlier or later.
