#TOB1MATCHES126 - Sandy's Beer Matchbook Cover - Sohio - Wilmot, Ohio

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage unused 4 1/2" tall matchbook cover. They say "Sandy's Beer Sandwiches" "Where Friend Meet". The center section says "SOHIO PRODUCTS". Pictures a bull on the reverse side and says "This is no bull. If you take a drink at home, that's your business. But when you want a drink where everybody goes for a good time that's our business". These are from the 1940s and have the WWII era red, white, and blue colors. They came from the estate of the late Larry "The Bottleman" Johnson, who was a friend. Larry was a picker his whole life, and he will be missed by the antique community. These are in really good shape with intact never used strikers.

##MUSICGD2026 - Grateful Dead Car Window Tour Sticker/Decal - Moon and Roses and Skull

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 5 3/8" tall Grateful Dead sticker/decal. This one features a variation on the Bertha Grateful Dead character. Bertha with roses in a moon. Circa 1992. 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.

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.

##MUSICBQ0221 - 1986 The Doors Licensed Pinback Button from "Button-Up"

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage colorful picture of The Doors with Jim Morrison. Marked "Copyright 1986 Doors" around the rim, and from the late 1980s. It also says "Button-Up Co. 2011 Austin" (Please note - 2011 Austin Drive, Troy MI was their address, and the "2011" is often mistaken for the date - they are substantially older than that). These licensed types are very scarce, yet easy to identify by the licensing info on the side of the button. Most of the musical pinbacks that you see for sale on Ebay or other online sites are reproductions. These licensed types retail for much higher prices. We uncovered them very recently in an old vending warehouse here locally. Jim Morrison and the Doors, were of course, one of the most famous groups of all time. Excellent unused condition.

Group/Artist Name: The Doors

Years Active: 1965 - 73

Genre: Rock

Condition: Unused

#MSH047 - Pair of Mechanical Mini Ash Tray/Hippie Stash Boxes in Original Boxes - Pictures 1911 Rolls Silver Ghost

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 that says Classic Car and pictures a 1911 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost. The ashtray/stash box device inside has the same image. 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.

#MSPRINT167 - 1904 Victorian Print - Actress Ellen Terry

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 1904 (dated) 12 3/4" tall stone lithograph print on thin cardboard featuring Ellen Terry. The bottom is marked "Eminent Actresses of our time - Ellen Terry". This was an image from her younger years. She was a famous theatre actress for the better part of the mid to late 1800s. Marked "The Gray Litho Co. NY." Illustrated by Maud Stumm with her signature mark.

These have quite a history. They are unused old stock that was originally uncovered in a San Francisco commercial building. They were donated to a museum that wanted to sell them to raise funds for a monument dedicated to Eleanor Roosevelt, but, the museum owner passed away. Now, they are here. Excellent condition. These are incredibly beautiful.
