Vintage Dental

Put up one of my vintage classroom toothcare posters at work today.



Needed a little color on the bare white walls. Should be interesting to see if anyone comments on it at work seeing I work at a dental Laboratory.

Mall Space Update
Scored a Display case off Craigslist but had to drive 2 hours to San Diego to get it. I should have taken a picture of it strapped to the top on my van for the trip home last night. Kept thinking the cops were going to pull me over or at the immigration checkpoint about half way back. Worse part was i did not find out that the case was used at a medical marijuana shop until I got down there to pick it up. All the way to the checkpoint I was stressing about what happens if they pull me over for inspection and some drug dog gets a whiff of the glass shelves inside the van ? That would have been a great post if it had happened but lucky for me all went well and I made it back with the case.

Hello

Seen at the Rose Bowl this weekend, just taking pictures of interesting things to share while trying not to buy as much, even though it is hard sometimes. Going to be getting a space in a new mall opening up in Long Beach next month so I will have another outlet for my goods and hopefully take back some space in our overstuffed garage. I have a workbench in there somewhere I think?

Weird that 1972 and 1975 have the "TM" mark but the one in the middle 1974 has the circle R mark.

Check out the frame & chair in the last image.

The Boys

Bought a interesting set of Pep Boys over the weekend.


They are all hand drawn in chalk and what looks like grease pencil. The cigar even has some red glitter. There is a date 1941 in ball point on the back of 1 plus a signature from the artist i am guessing.
They remind me of the art you often see framed in restaurants.
