I thought for the remainder of the Summer I would list some items of summer. Remember, If you have something for which you would like to get an estimate of value, I will do so if you send me details of the item and promise to make a $1 donation to the charity of your choice.

Enjoy.

Remember these beach balls you would get for around .99 cents?

This one, still in the package and made in Japan sold for, $28

This old Beatles Beach towel

Went for $58

Seems like everyone had a beach chair just like this one, so where did they all go?

This oak and canvass beach chair sold for $42

This lovely penny postcard from 1908 with bathing beauties

sold for $22

nice decorative 22×28 inch, ‘The Endless Summer’, movie poster from 1966 went for $606

Ice cold Kool-Aid was always a great hot summer day treat, especially if it was served from a frosty smiling pitcher like this one.

Kool Aid glass pitcher sold for $120

Is any summer complete in any neighborhood without getting a Mr. Softee. “The Creamiest Dreamiest Soft Ice cream is made by Mr. Softee…”

This toy Mr. Softee Ice Cream truck, friction, made in Japan, 4 inches long and made around 1955, sold for $30.

Let me know if you are enjoying this weekend feature on PhillySpeak. It does not have a direct relationship with Philadelphia but I enjoy putting it together and hope if you enjoy the feature you will let me know and pass it on to others.

My business partner Jody thinks I am nuts but anyone that knows me realizes that is a given.

See you next week with more old summer stuff.
