Travalon's Treasures


I haven't posted all the antique rosaries I recently bought yet, but it only seems fair to take a break and show my readers what Travalon buys at the antiques stores. He has more varied interests than I do, but in general he likes sports memorabilia, old cartoons, and old gas station signs.

This first picture is bobble-heads of three old Bucks players: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Brian Winters, and Bob Dandridge.


This, of course, is a doll of Ty Cobb, the meanest SOB to ever play baseball.


Travalon just found this on Sunday. He used to have this Tom Cat... and a Jerry Mouse too! He is still on the lookout for the Jerry Mouse.


This is a Theodore Roosevelt figurine.


These are bobble-heads of Hank Aaron (Braves) and George Scott (Brewers), the two baseball teams from Milwaukee. The Braves are now in Atlanta.


These are bobble-heads of Paul Hornung, the old Packers running back from their original glory days, and their coach Vince Lombardi.


These bobble-heads are Quisp, a character from a sugary cereal that existed back when Travalon and I were kids watching cartoons, and Droopy Dog from the cartoons.


Anyone else remember Hong Kong Phooey? Number One Super Guy?


And this is the singing, dancing frog from the Warner Brothers cartoons.


This is a Road Runner car and a Winnie the Pooh cement (honey) mixer.


Here are some gas station signs hanging on the walls in Travalon's man cave.


This is a Hamm's Beer sign. Travalon loves the Hamm's Bear.


And this is the Hamm's Bear! Travalon found him in Baraboo.


I hope you have enjoyed this visual survey of Travalon's treasures.
