Monster toys & related materials
	One of my favorite categories...can you tell? Classic movie monster toys had their heyday in the 1960's, primetime for the "Baby Boomer" generation. Bolstered by magazines like Famous Monsters, many kids (myself included) spent much time and all their allowance in the pursuit of that "cool monster stuff"....some "kids" still do!

			item: Horror Monsters Grab Bag; Best Plastics,1960's. description: Another fabulous "golden age" monster item is this remarkably preserved piece!
