##MUSICGD2030 - Grateful Dead Car Window Tour Sticker/Decal - Bear and VW Symbol

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 4 1/2" tall Grateful Dead sticker/decal. This one has a lot going on. There is a Grateful Dead bear wearing a necklace with a VW (Volkswagen) pendant hanging onto a ball which is landing in the ocean. The Volkswagen bus was considered part of the Grateful Dead mystique and "VW" showed up in a lot of the artwork. Circa 1992. 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.

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.

#TY868 - James M. Cole Circus Complimentary Ticket - Clown

Vintage 5 3/4" wide complimentary ticket to the James M. Cole Circus from the late 1950s. These are perforated paper tickets that were given away free if you signed a contract to let them put a sign in your yard or business window. Nice clown image. Unused excellent condition. We have some of the actual contracts available in another listing.

These came from a fellow whose job it was to run ahead of the circus to prime the town they were going to. He would put up signs in yards in exchange for tickets. Give tickets to the local stores to sell, and take proofs to the local newspapers. He did this from about 1958 till 1962 for several circuses. This paper and a lot of other stuff we bought came from leftovers in his garage. The Cole Circus was one of the majors. It was equal to Ringling Brothers in the 1930s. When TV came around in the 1950s and 60s, many of these circuses had trouble. People got glued to the TV. The New Cole Brothers Circus was formed in the 1980s and it is still around today.

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image of both sides of the pass. You get 3 for $6 (that's $2 each). Vintage 4 " tall OTTO cloth Harley Davidson promotional patch. The way it worked was that you wore this patch that Harley-Davidson gave away at the music venue. If you were picked by the Harley-Davidson spotters, they upgraded your seats and you got to sit in the VIP or Shelf Lounge Sections. The details are explained in fine print on the patch. The box they were in was dated 2011. Then bands that played that year at the Buffalo Chip venue were Alice Cooper, Pop Evil, Styx, Def Leppard, Poison, Gregg Allman, and John Fogerty. Excellent unused condition.
