Spider-Man Jack In The Box 2005

Just a freakin' kool toy  and a must for fans of the web slinger .This baby is four sides of vintage Spider-Man  madness and plays the theme from the  1967 Spider-Man cartoon as you crank the handle around. The front of the box features the  cover of Amazing Fantasy #15.Yes this is the Steve Ditko era Spidy in all his glory and it really works .
 

  Made of tin and swings in at a height of 5.5 inches but when Spidy pops up ,he towers in at just under 11 inches.Made by the Schylling Company in 2005 ,this is a Marvel licensed  product that is very hard to find  let alone in mint condition ,which this one is.

   You just know this  retro puppy won't last long in the store,it really is pretty sweet! Check out the you tube video

   

1975 Green Glass 7 UP THE UNCOLA Salt & Pepper Shakers

 The Uncola  released this fine product onto the public in 1975 cause everybody needs a set of salt and pepper  shakers. These promo babies ran out for the  end of "See the Light"  and the start of "It's 7 Up, it's Uncola" ad campaigns.Made of green glass(yeah I know you can see) and stand just under 4 inches tall.The plastic lids have not yellowed  however the shakers where made in Taiwan  and  Westinghouse,  7 Up's owners,at the time  were not happy with the product as all the glass had imperfections.As a result there is really  no mint sets of the shakers .Westinghouse bought 7 Up in 1969 and sold it in 1978 to Philip Morris.

 So if your a 7up drinker and or collector this rare set is a nifty must have. Bottom line is, this  kool 70's advertisement for an iconic brand . Hell they also will look great in  your kitchen!
