As always, some wonderful new finds, oldies but goodies, special requests and more....click on the photos and links.
Some of our happiest moments--and our worst disappointments--came from answering those ads you found in the back of comic books or pulp magazines. You know the ones we're talking about: the ads that promised magical decoding rings or "sea-monkeys" or the ability to throw one's voice or, ahem, see under clothing with "x-ray glasses" or.....offered insane quantities of one thing or another. It wasn't very often that reality matched or exceeded the thrills promised in the ads.....Well step back in time for a happy ending. My dear old friend Tom is 100% certain that he sent away for the 100 Piece Toy Soldier Set in this 1964 advertisement posted above---and what do you know, he says that everything was exactly as promised--although the footlocker was nothing more than a lithographed cardboard box and everything was very small. Still it was a shining moment vividly remembered.
