Penny Flame

A new sign for the house




I was at a show and my friend sent me a pic of it from the show he was at. I was unable to get to the show and see it in person and maybe buy it. One month later I was at the show and got to work a deal out with the guy since he still had it. Things somehow work out in the end.

A Blast from the Past

Look what turned up at the swap on monday



and it is autographed by Mike Stannard himself!





For those out of town folks the Toyrific Toy Shows was "THE" Southern California show of the early nineties . That was before Ebay so everyone brought great toys and you never knew what would turn up. The show was run by Mike and Lisa Stannard who always had top of the line vintage toys themselves.

Out and About

Trying to look and not buy so taking a picture is a good compromise.







Hope you all have a good Labor day off............ working or not

A little something the wife got for me at the shop today.




SIDE BAR
Sorry the blogs been lackluster and sporadic at best the past month or so. That good old economy caught up with the printing industry and since my logged time at the my old job was less than the others I was one of a few laid off about a month ago. So I have been catching up on things at home while searching for my next gig. Have a few things in the works so hopefully things will be back on track sooner than later.

New Vintage

Tubs off to the folks at Kentucky Fried Chicken for the great chicken buckets they made up for the 70th year anniversary. I had seen a mailer that showed the old style buckets but did not realize they actually had them made for real. Went to the drive thru for some chicken and made sure to ask for one of each size. The kids working there gave me a odd stare but were nice enough to give them sans chicken grease. They did a great job on the new ones even down to the small text . I took a shot on my original one for comparison.




Just a side note The All American Toy and Collectible show at the Glendale Civic Auditorium is happening on this weekend. Tikiranch will have a table and half of toys and collectibles so drop on by if you are in the neighborhood.
