PHISH is the most famous group to avoid the mainstream, and are without a doubt the most famous underground band out there. They have a worldwide cult following much like the Grateful Dead did, and refuse to compromise or produce records that conform to modern radio standards.

Vintage 2" wide paper flag on metal pin for the B.P.O.Elks. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (also known as the Elks Lodge or simply The Elks) is to this day one of the largest fraternal orders in the United States with around a million current members. It was formed as a fraternal order and social club in 1868 and has a lot of rituals, traditions, and regalia that is very simllar to the Freemasons.  It was a boys only club until recent years, and many lodges are still men only. They sponsored an insurance fund in the 1800s that was banned in 1907 when the money was mismanaged. Since then it has been a social club that has donated to many charities. These flags are very early and came out of a factory that made silks and flags many years ago. Based on the master boxes, I'd say they are from the early 1900s. As far as we can tell, these are the only examples known.  They say "B.P.O.Elks" and have the society Elk logo on them. The flags are paper with some aging, and the pins have a little light rust, but are in amazing condition for their age. There was not a big bunch of these found and we have all of them.

Vintage very large 21" wide paper diner/soda fountain sign for German Chocolate Ice Cream. Nice detailed castle pictured along with a big dish of ice cream. We found these with the soda diecuts that were made in 1951. They are really nice. Excellent unused condition with very slight paper aging.
