#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.

#TZCards207 - Two Different Pacific Ocean Park 1¢ Arcade John Wayne Cards

You get the pair for $3. (That's $1.50 each). These are very rare Ocean Park Penny Arcade 4 in 1 cards featuring John Wayne with a signature. These are different from the other one we have offered elsewhere in this catalog. Excellent unused condition. One card has John Wayne, Buck Jones, Don Barry, and Allan Lane. The other one has John Wayne, Bob Livingston, Dick Foran, and Buddy Roosevelt.

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.
