##MUSICGD2032 - Grateful Dead Car Window Tour Sticker/Decal - Skeleton Smoking a Joint under a Rainbow Tree

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. It features a skeleton smoking a joint under a rainbow tree with the sun and ocean, and of course, a couple of mushrooms growing on the ground.

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 older stickers are very hard to find anymore.

#TY554 - Crystal Eye Mrs. Santa Claus Doll Mask

These were part of a fad in the 1960s and 1970s. Kleenex had a promotion where you sent away for parts like this and they showed you how to make a doll. This one was just the head. There were several variations. People used this one to make Mrs. Santa Claus. These heads are about 4" tall and made of a rubbery plastic material that is bendable. The eyes are three dimensional plastic and sparkly (the carton they were in said doll masks with crystal eyes). I found them sealed in their original cellophane wrapping and they are in excellent like new condition. I'm sure you doll collectors out there will know more about these. We just found these in a warehouse very near here we have been trying to get in for 20 years!

##MUSICBQ0030 - 1940s Opera News Magazine

Vintage 8 3/4 - 10" tall (depending on which issue) 1940s Opera News magazine. They show some typical aging but are in nice shape. These are uncommon and often go for $5 each and up on Ebay. Some go for a lot more depending on who is on the cover. We have several different ones and don't know one from another. No special requests please. You may get the real high dollar one. Hard to tell. Opera News was founded in 1936 by the Metropolitan Opera Guild with Mrs. John DeWitt (Mary Ellis Peltz) serving as the publication's first editor. It was initially intended to be a "useful, instructive, and factual weekly newspaper of Opera in New York". Its first issue was published on 7 December 1936 and consisted of only one folded broadsheet.

#ZLCA227 - Very Old J. Winslow Jones Green Corn Can Label

Vintage scarce 12" wide J. Winslow Jones' Green Corn can label. Click the image to see the full image of the label. This is a very old one from around 1880. Labels weren't as fancy then, but this is an interesting one. Says stuff like "Beware of Counterfeits. Use no Corn except that bearing the name John Winslow Jones" "Owing the the immense demand for Hermetically Sealed Goods, large amounts of Worthless Articles are offered for sale, which render it very important for purchasers to look well to the BRANDS they purchase". Tells all about the product and has directions for preparing. They are unused old factory stock that shows some fairly minor age stains along edges and tiny age bites. We got these from the estate of the famous dealer and friend Bob Secrist.
