#MSH046 - Pair of Mechanical Mini Ash Tray/Hippie Stash Boxes in Original Boxes - Do Not Exhale

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 say "Notice to Smokers" "If you must smoke, do not exhale". This is a slogan that was common back in the day. It is not quite what it sounds like. It was about holding your breath when you smoked a joint. They picture a guy with a headband smoking a very large pipe. 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.

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

Click the picture to see a more detailed image of both sides of the pass. 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.
