Those were hardly ever seen in the first place; the company was started in NJ, circa 1966, by a former employee of Ampeg, and design-wise, had some similarities and some quirky differences. Apparently it only lasted about a year, but a few made it out west. A guitarist in my first band, Jr. High era, had one with a 15” and rev/trem. In time honored fashion, two guitars and a vocal mic went into it. I had a 12”+15” speaker, converted from a TV cabinet by my dad, and a Gibson guitar head.

Olivetti Logos 58. I used to work in the flying stock room at a branch. I believe that it took a special heat activated paper to print. vintage ~1973
An anvil at a gig!
We are setting up the PA for a three band show at a brewery and the first band brought an anvil.
(They also brought a tree stump to set it on).
I assume that this in the more common b-flat anvil. I see also that it is fretless
(These guys are a twenty piece German brass orchestra, and I assume the anvil will be employed to play The Anvil Chorus).

Was Wile E. Coyote their roadie?
I’m pretty sure they would play Maxwells Silver Hammer…
I get it from a tire store. Drive up, kid puts it in, don’t even have to get out.
Similar. I go to my dealership. I have the oldest car there but they treat me well.
Perhaps they were gonna play "If I had a hammer".....
Yes, Matchbox Cars are still out there; but, not those displays.
You don't see these Matchbox Car displays either.
While cleaning out my mother's house recently, I found a Matchbox ambulance just like the one in the photo.
