#MSH056 - Group of 2 Mechanical Mini Ash Tray/Hippie Stash Boxes in Original Boxes - Kissing Toads

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image (the illustrated box and device are both pictured). You get 2 for $5 (that's $2.50 each). These are a real piece of hippie history. Vintage colorful 2 3/8" tall box. The ashtray/stash box , and the device inside says "Before you Meet the Handsome Prince" "You Have to Kiss a Lot of Toads". This was from back in the day of free love. It pictures a large toad. The device inside has a spring loaded cigarette/joint holder that pops out when you open it. It is a tin box that you could use as an ash tray or for joint storage. "Made in Hong Kong". These were sold as novelties and in head shops all over the country in the late 1960s into the early 1970s when stash boxes were all the rage. We found these at an old novelty distributorship in northern Ohio. Excellent unused condition. There were nine different variations (Cigarettes, Cars, Novelty) that we will be offering in this and future catalogs. They would make a really interesting collection.

##MUSICGD2058 - Grateful Dead American Gothic Car Window Tour Sticker/Decal - Skeleton Man and Woman with Pitchfork

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 5 1/4" diameter Grateful Dead sticker/decal. This one has a theme taken from the famous "American Gothic" painting by Grant Wood. 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 1980s. It features a skeleton man and woman with a pitchfork.

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.

##MUSICBP2009 - Romantics OTTO Cloth VIP Backstage Pass from the 1985 "Rhythm Romance" Tour

Did you know they were well on their way when in 1987 it was discovered that their manager had basically been taking their money and signing contracts for TV commercials and things they had no idea about. It went to court, and incredibly, the legalities of the situation prevented them from creating new music till nearly 10 years later when they resurged with a number of other songs you've probably heard.
