#PL402.5 - Large Ronald Reagan Rally Paddle from the 1984 Election

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image (both sides are pictured). Here's a scarce one. Vintage 17 3/4" tall Ronald Reagan rally Sign/Paddle (they held these in the air and waved them around at rallys). They are made of thick styrofoam attached to a wooden paddle. They feature a diecut figure of Reagan with a patch that says "84" on his shirt. The bottom is marked "Copyright 1983 The Force, Inc." The term "the force" was taken from Ronald Reagan's Star Wars program which claimed we could shoot lasers from space satellites that would take down anything on the ground. Even though it never actually happened, it is one of his most famous achievements, as Russia ran scared. It was a good bit of acting from his earlier career as an actor that paid off. These are very uncommon, and will be a big hit with Reagan collectors. They are in unused condition. The backs show some minor aging. The fronts are great other than a few very minor marks. NO FOREIGN ORDERS ON THIS ONE.

##MUSICBQ0232 - 1989 The Who Licensed Pinback Button from "Button-Up"

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage colorful picture of album cover for the Who's Quadrophenia album. Marked "Copyright 1989 P.P.M.C. (the mark that is common on a lot of Who licensed merchandise)" 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. They are unused, and we uncovered them very recently in an old vending warehouse here locally.

##MUSICGD2002 - Grateful Dead Tour Sticker/Decal - Bear Walking Through Illinois

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 4" wide Grateful Dead sticker/decal. These are high quality art decals. This type sticks on the outside of glass or a mirror or your pocket. They are in mint condition and can still be used. This one features the Steal Your Face character (the skull) with a Grateful Dead Bear walking across the state of Illinois. These were sold during the tour that went through Illinois. These are circa 1990.

These Grateful Dead stickers/decals are old tour merchandise in excellent unused condition. 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.
