Anyone Know what this is? Sunrise Beverages thing
This photo comes to me from Lonnie Ernsting. Does anyone know what this is? It is made of glass and looks to me like someone flattened a glass bottle. They must have been very patient to do it though. What is it worth? Any and all ideas welcome.
A Page From My Scrapbook
I’ve always kept interesting looking things. Starting at the top left, a Coca-Cola sticker. Then a ZZ Top ticket stub from when I went to see them in Germany. A fantastic show. The official Levi’s tag, letting me know this pair of jeans wasn’t counterfit. That was a problem, perhaps still is. Then the Jack Daniels thing is off a wristwatch a roommate bought me when he was at the factory. A ticket stub from Monsters of Rock in Germany. The Scorpions were the headline act, and when the show was in England with the same lineup, Ozzy was the headline act. 1986. This was several years before I head of these concerts in America. I went to see Ratt on the very first show of the Out of the Cellar tour. Lawton, Oklahoma. What an odd place to kick off your tour. Then a drag race pit pass from 1980. I have no idea where this was, maybe Tulsa? Then Phantasialand which is a small amusement park in Germany. The lamest amusement park I’ve ever been to. The roller coaster was like a kiddie ride. It was very bizarre. Next is a ticket from the castle (schloss in German) Heidelberg. Heidelburg is far and away my favorite city in Germany. The castle is super cool, the bridge is beautiful, the walk-way cobblestone downtown area is great, the university is over 600 years old, see the t-shirt below. And lastly is a very interesting thing that came on a straw with a Coca-Cola in Germany, but looks like it should be Spain or Mexico with the Pique.
White Rock Ginger Ale Pinup Bucket?
White Rock Ginger Ale and Sparkling Water used this nymph, or pixie, on their advertising. Here name is Psyche. This looks like a late 1940s image. Here’s a few samples with timelines to see the changes in Psyche: a photographic list (somewhat incomplete), a neat history, and a vote. In the vote, the current one is by far the worst. WHY IS THAT? AND WHY IS THAT SO COMMON?
So is this an ice bucket? It’s similar in construction to a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket. Collectible Soda Pop Memorabilia

Vintage Disney Donald Duck Straws
One of the many things in Dad’s showcases. Donald Duck, 100 Sunshine Straws. This 15 cent box has Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and Pluto on it. I guess the dog Pluto is supposed to be using a straw also? “Straws are the sanitary, convenient way to serve milk, iced drinks, or bottled beverages.” I’m guessing this is Disneyana from the 1950s by the fonts.
Showcases Full of Stuff
My dad has tons of showcases all full of stuff, here’s a sample.
I meant to get close ups of the Cootie Oil and Salt Petre in this showcase.
Lead soldiers.
These teeth have been around as long as I can remember.
