Vintage Collectible Tom Terrific Comic Book 1957 Number 1

My Forever Treasures is glad we can satisfy the requests for a vintage comic book. We are offering the iconic issue 1 of the beloved Tom Terrific Comic Books. Tom Terrific was an early animated series on American television presented as part of the Captain Kangaroo Show (1957-59.) A Terrytoon creation which ran in five-minute cartoon segments. They were created specifically for the Captain Kangaroo Show. Tom Terrific and his faithful, comic lazy-bones of a sidekick Mighty Manfred The Wonder Dog were a treat. He’d make cereal for Manfred, to pep him up. Tom could transform himself into anything he wanted thanks to his magic funnel-shaped thinking cap. Tom once turned himself into a spray gun, airplane and alarm clock to help these two rescue circus animals. The public loved their antics. Reading this comic book has made me a fan as well. In the story “The Lost River” our pals go fishing. After finding there was no water in the river, Tom transformed into a helicopter and a cyclone to find a thirsty alligator. You had to be there. If you were, there was great fishing. A story has Tom and Manfred search for elephiraffes.(1/2 elephant/ […]

He used the famous catch phrase “You rang!” Lurch is a 6′ 9″ tall, shambling, gloomy butler. He often communicates via single inarticulate moans, which his employers have no trouble understanding. He’s not a very good butler but extremely loyal. There’s always fun along the way. The family resides at Cemetery Lane, in an ornate, gloomy second Empire Style mansion.They have macabre interests and supernatural powers. Gomez Addams is the over top retired lawyer/husband/father . He has a son and daughter with Morticia his wife, who he adores. Others might find their values strange, as Morticia grows carnivorous plants and Uncle Festus relaxes on a bed of nails. Charming Lurch was the fans favorite in this 1960’s hit comedy. Today his collectible 6.25″ x 1.75″ x 2″ figure is as big […]

Vintage World War 2 These Colors Will Not Run Silk Flag Banner 8 x 10 inches

World War 2 represented the United States effort to defeat the Axis powers (Germany and Japan were major players.) Germany wreaked havoc in Europe. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. The world was overwhelmingly threatened. The United States offered their greatest military effort of all time. The war started in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. It ended December 1945 when the Axis formally surrendered. The nation’s industries were mobilized to supply and enable the American Armed Forces, Naval and Air Forces. 16 million Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces. More than 400,000 were killed in action and near 700,000 were wounded. Today the war would have cost the U.S. $4.5 trillion. Civilians on the Home Front were a huge moral foundation serving the troops 24/7.To show support the Home Front hung flags and banners in their windows. Some displayed 1, 2 or 3 stars indicating how many in the family were serving. Other flags and banners displayed patriotic messages. In response to clients requesting vintage patriotic treasures, My Forever Treasures has the perfect gift. A “These Colors Will Not Run” World War 2 Home Front winner. The Holy Grail of patriotic messages “These Colors Will Not Run,” flag/banner framed […]

Vintage Collectible Anacin Advertising Matchbook 1940

A matchbook is a small paperback folder (match cover) enclosing a quantity of matches. When taken off the folder, the match is used to strike a coarse surface on the outside (exterior). The exterior of the match cover is usually imprinted with a producer’s logo and often serves as an advertising/promotional medium. This became a cheap promotional item or souvenir. My Forever Treasures is happy to share our vintage advertising match book cache. The first companies to use match books for advertising include Pabst beer, American Tobacco Company and Wrigley’s chewing gum. The popularity of disposable lighters created diminished demand for match books. This marked a new scarcity of match book related items. Collecting vintage match-related items has become a retro rage. Collectors have memorabilia fanatics revering classic advertising, sports, music, famous landmark match-related items and so much more. We are offering our classic 1940’s Anacin Advertising match book cover. It’s vintage 1940’s graphics, has Anacin offering a match book cover and a cure for your headache. By an ashtray on your table offer your guests a vintage blast from the past. Enjoy.
