##MUSICGD2035 - Grateful Dead Car Window Tour Sticker/Decal - Grateful Dead Bears Juggling a Skeleton

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 4 1/2" diameter Grateful Dead sticker/decal. 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 and has an artist signature Jeremy. It features two grateful dead bears juggling a skeleton with their feet. The skeleton has his arms raised as if to say Wheeeee.....

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.

##MUSICBQ0238 - Group of 3 LL Cool J Pinback Buttons from "Button-Up"

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. You get 3 for $2.40 (that's 80¢ each). Vintage 1 1/2" diameter pinback with a colorful image of the cover of the Walking with a Panther" album. Marked "Copyright 1989 USH around the rim, and from the 1980s. It also says "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). The Button-Up info is very hard to read because it is black print on a black part of the button. I had to get my magnifying glass out. 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. Excellent unused condition.

Artist Name:LL Cool J

Origin: Stanmore, Bay Shore, NY

Genre: Hip Hop, Rap

Tour: Walking with a Panther 1989

Condition: Unused

#TY574 - Pair of Sex Detector Novelties - Japan

You get the pair for $2.50. Vintage sex detector novelties. The one with the illustration on it says "Instantly Indicates the Sex of Humans, Animals, or Insects" "Wonderful Fun-Maker" "A Scientific Instrument Better Than the Ouija Board" "Circular motion Female" "Forward and Backward Male". The illustrated package is about 3" wide and contain a small tin bobber on a string that you dangled. The larger package is about 3 3/4" all and contain a larger tin bobber on a string (pictured), but no instructions (even though it says they are inside!). Both packages are marked "Japan" and are circa 1950. We had a few of these years ago, and they were very popular. Unsold old store stock we recently recovered from a warehouse in Northeast Ohio. Packages show typical minor paper aging. Parts inside are like new.

#DC263 - Very Large Display Board for U.S. President Milk Caps

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage very large 24" wide thin cardboard display sheet. They are marked "U.S. Presidents" and goes on to explain how much fun they are to collect, and how you should save them from each bottle of milk delivered to put on the board. It has slots for 35 presidents, and each one is labeled with the president's name and an important fact about them. The last president that was used in the set was John F. Kennedy, so they were made somewhere around 1964. The few of these that have turned up in the past were used and in awful condition. These are pretty near perfect and everybody that collects milk bottle caps needs one. They came from an old collection we recently purchased.
