I-Mockery Pays A Visit To Antique Row In Pomona!
by: -RoG-

...CONTINUED


A scars are forever fireman that they just can't seem to get rid of no matter how many times they reduce the price.


Wheelchairs - they don't make 'em like they used to.


A nice Fleet Arrow glider sled. Rosebud?


I would go to the gym every day if this is how weightlifters still looked and acted.


Not sure how the bullet knife is gonna stop those other dogs from drowning or that sled from falling into the icy water...
in fact, I think the knife is the last thing I even noticed in this picture.


Old toy train models galore.


I really love the uniform orange & black look of old tin Halloween novelties.


I really wanted this early promotional Elvira button, but they wanted $25 for it.
For that much, I should be able to get her to come to my house and showcase a cheesy old horror movie.


More vintage Halloween goodies.


I think this is where all those old California Raisins figurines go to die.


I couldn't believe they had the old sandwich stage that I used to have. It was part of a California Raisins
mail-away offer and had a button that played "Heard it through the Grapevine" when pressed.


They're not the classic metal lunchboxes, but anything that features The Real Ghostbusters or Peanuts is ok in my book.


Smokey the Bear enjoying some photo ops with various baseball stars.


An Elvis cardboard standee can help you sell anything.


Nude Batgirl painting? Check. Overpriced at $250? Yep.
One my most hilariously awful finds in recent memory? Absolutely.


Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Series and various Hardy Boys books.


Mousercise with Ronald McDonald? No thanks.


I think we all have a new catchphrase to use during the holidays from this point forward.


I'm pretty sure these salt & pepper shakers would creep out just about anybody.


Back in the day, I think everybody owned one of these electronic pencil sharpeners with the wood paneling at some point.


An old Marx Magic Shot shooting gallery toy.


Furby! Remember them? Yeah, I tried to forget 'em too.


You 'n me both, pal.


If somebody is attacking you, don't kiss them... kill them.

There's still more treasures from Antique Row to see!

Every time I look at old plastic lunch boxes the first thing I always remember is the smell of stale peanut butter sandwiches and lays ranch potato chips.

I would sucker punch my grandmother for those boxes of Garbage Pail Kids. Plus I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure the Hamburglar cup is the correct one.
Ba-dum-tish. RIMSHOT!

That Barnum & Bailey flashlight brings back memories. Damn, as kids we wanted the stupidest shit... and our parents complied.

Depending on how much they cost, I'd be all over the Tommy pinball machine and/or the Cool Spot plush.

The doll in the third pic on page 4 is a Little Orphan Annie doll from the 80s movie, not a Raggedy Ann

Great article! I love it when you go to strange places.

Those hillbilly teeth are the most disturbing thing by far. I mean they aren't in a package or anything! Buying a pair of those is like playing Russian Roulette with herpes for a bullet!

My dad has had one of those Joe Camel mugs since before I was born, it feels surreal seeing another one

I was disappointed that modern physical culture isn't like the 1896 guy too. That's why I bought my own weight set. It came with a singlet.

I still have that Ghostbusters lunchbox, except mine is cadet blue and in much worse condition. =3

I have a few of those Three Investigators books, too. Those exact titles, even.

It's not even Batgirl (the colours are wrong), it's a gender-flipped Batman...
