Rock 'n Roll Monkey, or: Dress Like Mommy

A small sampling of fun stuff from the toy section of a National Bellas Hess bargains mail order catalog, dated 1958... lots of neat items in this one, I might post more from it later this month.

  1. I wonder what the budget model looked like. It must have been the budget model if the top of the line cost $1.69, which wasn't super expensive even in 1958 (kids, save your nickels and dimes to own your own dancing monkey!)

    I wonder how much these toys would sell for as vintage/antiques today.

  2. That's the new relaxed look? That Dress Like Mommy pic is so freaking hilarious.

    And I KNOW you want that Rock 'n Roll Monkey. AND the Popeye punch bag. AND the Clown Target Set with hat that pops off.

  3. Yeah no fair. I want to see a picture of the smaller, eighty-nine cent monkey playing the banjo. The Rock 'n roll banjo. But seriously, that thirteen inch Popeye vinyl figure is the catnip here.
