The Beatles at Maple Leaf Gardens 1966






The Beatles answer questions at the Hot Stove Lounge August 17, 1966

A news conference, September 7 1964.

Not sure who the interviewer is but he's quite aggressive and rude.
I'm surprised that John didn't let him have it.
Pelham Puppets out of England produced these "Musician" puppets during the height of Beatlemania. I received one for Christmas in 1966 or 67 and didn't like it so it was returned to Eatons and exchanged for one of these....

Gemini Firecrackers 1966

Front
Back

A few years ago I was lucky enough to find a case of these NOS vintage Martian Firecrackers. Sadly this is the last pack. These are probably circa 1965-66 and illustrate the fascination we all had with the space program. That's a Gemini space capsule on the front. These mini rockets are Cosmic Charged, Super Charged and Extra Loud!
