##MUSICGD2014 - Large Grateful Dead Tour Sticker/Decal - Electrified Skeleton Dancing on a Mushroom

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage large 6 3/4" tall 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 is from the early 1990s. The decal features an electrified skeleton dancing on a psychedelic mushroom. Excellent unused condition.

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.

#BEADS0171 - Group of 2 Huge Lavender 26mm Japanese Ceramic Powder Big Hole Beads

Click the picture to see larger more detailed image. You will get 2 for $1 (that's 50¢ each). Vintage lavender colored huge 26mm long big hole ceramic powder coated beads. These were in boxes marked "Made in Japan" and are from the late 1960s.

Hippies were stringing big hole beads on rope back in the day and these had the earthy look that was popular. They are in unused condition, and are very uncommon. They were sold as hippie beads in the late 60s from a bead store near the Haight Ashbury area. In 1967, the hippie phenomena dominated the area and the demand for beads was huge. The owner of this store put out the call that he wanted all types of beads that were either colorful, large, earthenware, or had mystical significance. The hardcore hippies wanted glass or ceramic or earthenware, so that is what most of these items are. The demand started slacking as the hippie phenomena died down and by the mid 1970s, they started selling gold chains and disco related items instead. The hippie items were taken from the front shelves, and stored in the back. The newspaper they were wrapped in was dated 1977, so that's when they put them back there. The most striking thing in the store was an old display of huge African Trade Bead necklaces from the 1800s. They were even selling those sort of beads to the hippies. One of those necklaces will run you about 2 grand now. That place is a real time warp. You could still smell incense around some of the boxes and I kept hearing Jimi Hendrix and Jefferson Airplane in my head. Just amazing.

#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.
