Thanksgiving Day, Roy Rogers and Old Photos

The blog for collectors, accumulators and hoarders of neat stuff.

Country Joe's Collectibles the home of lots of neat collectible stuff.

Well it's almost "Turkey Day" here in the USA, a day off and lot's of good food for many. And if you are among those that have please donate to the food kitchens etc. for those that don't have. It is also the unofficial beginning of the holiday shopping season.

Picked up a few neat items last week and have added some to the shop this week. A few are:


Char-009 Roy Rogers Cup
Vintage plastic Roy Rogers cup, has Roy Rogers on front of hat. Marked F&F Mold & Die Works, Dayton, Ohio. Made in U.S.A. About 4-1/4 inches tall. Nice condition.


Photo-069 Pony with Cart Photo
Vintage photo of pony track with pony pulling cart and people in cart. Approx. 5x7 inches, marked June 1944 on back.


Photo-070 Little Girl Washing Car Photo
Vintage photo of little girl washing the back of an old Oldsmobile with 1944 N.J. license plates. Dated July 1944 on back. Approx. 5x7 inches in size.


Photo-071 Girls in Bathing Suits Photo
Vintage photo of 20 girls in bathing suits sitting at the side of a pool. Approx. 5 X 7 inches in size. 1940's - 50's era. Is that Aunt Mary third from the left?


Ctry-012 Quick Loader Insect Powder Gun
Quick Loaders were one of the more common types of insect powder guns or dusters. They were manufactured by the American Can Co., New York, Chicago, San Francisco and came in many different colors. Most people believe these were used to load gun powder into guns, but the original intent was for insect control. Canvas center panel is a little stiff but still usable. Great for that general store collection.

Also some antique cabinet, desk, clock keys;

Vintage postcards: Bedford Springs Golf Course; Flamingos Nesting; Old Orchard Beach, Maine; Park Drive, Brandywine Park etc.

Also started adding some vintage Valentines Day postcards to the shop. Figured I'd be early this year instead of at the last minute as usual.

Ever wonder how you started to collect whatever it is you collect?

See ya, Country Joe
