#BEADS0844 - Strand of 48 Cherry Brand 9-10mm Transparent Amethyst Baroque Glass Beads

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. You get 48 Beads for $3 (6¢ each). Vintage temporary strand of fancy Cherry Brand Japanese Baroque beads. They are 9-10mm diameter and are a beautiful amethyst transparent glass. The glass is very beautiful with dimples (they called it Baroque on the master case). These were made by hand using old techniques. The crude shapes and unusual dimpling really enhance the look. These are 1940s Cherry Brand (company only existed from 1946 - 1951). Cherry Brand was considered the highest quality Japanese bead maker. This is a find we made from a dealer in New York who originally purchased them in the 1940s. These are very hard to find, very nice, and have never seen the light of day. Dust them off, and they are mint. Some strands still have the Made in Japan tags.

##MUSICGD2051 - Grateful Dead Car Window Tour Sticker/Decal - Skull Yin Yang

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 4 1/2" diameter Grateful Dead sticker/decal. These are high quality art decals that were made for car windows. I peeled the cover off for the picture. They are in mint condition and can still be used. This one is from around the late 1980/90s. It features a Skull in a Yin Yang .

These Grateful Dead stickers/decals are old tour merchandise. I found them wrapped in plastic in boxes in master cases. They came from a distributor who sold them to tour vendors. The condition is pristine and they still will work as a car decal or window/mirror sticker. We found them packed away in storage boxes dated 1992 (many are older than that) and 1995 (year Jerry Garcia died). They are high quality artist renderings of Grateful Dead themes. Back in the day, the Dead did not monitor copyrights and that sort of thing, and in fact, at one point encouraged artists to do designs. The LA times explained it well "The Grateful Dead was famously lax in enforcing it’s intellectual property rights and trademarks, allowing fans to create their own designs using the band’s expansive iconography”. Since there was no serious monitoring or much concern back then, a lot of up and coming artists got involved in designing them. This is how some of them got their starts. Some of the sticker artists who designed these stickers went on to produce official licensed works for the Grateful Dead and other famous groups. These stickers include some by now famous designers including David Opie, and others. These 1995 and older stickers are very hard to find anymore.

#TY574 - Pair of Sex Detector Novelties - Japan

You get the pair for $2.50. Vintage sex detector novelties. The one with the illustration on it says "Instantly Indicates the Sex of Humans, Animals, or Insects" "Wonderful Fun-Maker" "A Scientific Instrument Better Than the Ouija Board" "Circular motion Female" "Forward and Backward Male". The illustrated package is about 3" wide and contain a small tin bobber on a string that you dangled. The larger package is about 3 3/4" all and contain a larger tin bobber on a string (pictured), but no instructions (even though it says they are inside!). Both packages are marked "Japan" and are circa 1950. We had a few of these years ago, and they were very popular. Unsold old store stock we recently recovered from a warehouse in Northeast Ohio. Packages show typical minor paper aging. Parts inside are like new.

#ZBOT134 - Dr. Blumer's Laxal Remedy Label - The Baby's Friend

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 4" tall "Dr. Blumer's Laxal" label. Says "Laxal The Baby's Friend". These are from around 1900 when a lot of babies died from opium/morphine addiction caused by teething and quieting medications. The Pure Food and Drug Act had not been passed yet, but because of public outcry other medicines were brought out as a substitute. This is one of those. It doesn't list what was actually in it (as was required by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906), but claims it was Non-Alcoholic and contained "no Opium, Morphine or other habit producing drugs". Says it was "A common sense remedy for Baby's complaints". Makes me wonder what they did put in it. Found at the factory many years ago.
