#TY642 - Shocking Letter Gag - Made in Japan - As low as $1 each

Click the picture to see a large detailed image. Vintage 5" wide sealed paper envelope says "Shocking Letter" "Shocking Letter Enclosed with Directions" "Made in Japan". Inside it is a small unused envelope with a rubber band powered windup cardboard clown in it. The rubber bands hardened years ago and no longer work. Instructions say "wind up about 20 times fold over and give to your friends". Unsold old 1950s store stock that we recently recovered from a warehouse in Northeast Ohio. Excellent condition. This type of humor harkens back to a time when we were more easily entertained.

#TZCards145 - Complete Set of 32 Different Blind Date for Men Pinup Arcade Cards

Complete set of 32 Exhibit Supply Blind Date for Men cards. Each one has a corny little story with 1940s humor many have what were considered risque poses for the time. The copyright date is 1941, which is the date the machines that dispensed these for a penny were originally made. The Exhibit Supply Company made them for the machines for years after.

We have a large lot of Exhibit Supply cards that we found in unopened bricks (you can see a picture of some of the bricks at the top of this department (Trading Card Shop). They are from a closed penny arcade. This is about the only way you would ever be able to find complete sets. The problem still is that there are more of some cards than others, so we can't assemble as many sets as you might think. These cards are uncommon. They are difficult to date because many of the machines were in production in the 1930s and 40s, but Exhibit Supply made cards for many of them all the way up to the early 1970s. The tale end stuff generally used lighter colored cardboard backing and printing on the bricks was stamped. The older ones have separate printed labels. So, we are using that info and the aging on the brick wrappers to estimate dates. The arcade must have bought the bricks of these during different time periods. Some are the lighter backs, but not the real light ones. We'll call it circa 1960.
