November 2011 - January 2012 • 7 One of our most celebrated folk heroes
An enlightening story by Catharina VanTooren, Roseberry Antiques, Calgary, AB
Saint Nicholas arriving by boat (from Spain) in the harbour of Amsterdam accompanied by his helpers, called Zwarte Pieten (eng. Black Peters). Once on land, the
Saint parades through the streets on a beautiful white horse.
W hile children are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their beloved Santa Claus, and all of
us are wondering ‘what to get’ for that special person, do we actually know where good
ol’ Saint Nick originates? Let’s reveal the identity of this famous old gentleman.
The story starts in the 3rd century A.D. where a man
was born in what was then the Roman province of Lycia, now
Southern Turkey (Asia Minor). This man served as bishop of
the seaport city of Myra and was known for his good deeds.
During the reign of the Emperor Dioclectian (who obviously
did not appreciate the bishop’s actions) he ended up in
prison. Fortunately the succeeding Emperor Constantine
released him. Bishop Nicholas died on December 6, 343
A.D. and was buried in a crypt in the church of Myra.
However, Nicholas’ legacy did not start until a few years
after his death. His reputation as a good man and miracle
worker inspired many Christians throughout the eastern
Mediterranean. In 430 A.D. Emperor Justinian built a
church in Constantinople to honour his memory. Nicholas
became the patron of towns and cities, of ships and sailors.
choolboys looked to him for protection; spinsters prayed
for husbands; businessman sought his help to succeed.
Unofficially he became known as Saint Nicholas. Nicholas
the Miracle-Maker became the patron of first Moscow and
later all of Russia as “Nicolai Choodorovitz.” A hospice was
built in the Swiss Alps and dedicated to his memory. Many
years later, in 1085, sailors from southern Italy invaded the
church at Myra to remove Nicholas’ remains and ship them
to Bari, a city on the Adriatic Coast. Pope Urban II blessed
the relics and ordered a great basilica to be built on top of
them. Every year after in Bari on May 9, on the anniversary
of the arrival of his remains, there was a festival with
joyful hymns and prayers. Sailors and travellers kept Saint
Nicholas in their hearts and actions, spreading the word
globally about this great man. Residents of Belgium were
some of the first Westerners to accept the Saint by building a
shrine in his honour on the banks of the Scheldt River near
Antwerp and naming a church and city after him.
Many churches followed in Russia, Italy, France,
Greece, Germany, Great Britain, Scandinavia and the Low
Countries.

November 2011 - January 2012 • 9 of the papacy out of youths’ heads.” It did not succeed
though. Reformation or not, kids still placed their shoes by
their beds, hoping to find cookies, fruits and nuts. (in the
morning?) They even left straw and vegetables outside for
the good horse to indulge after a long night’s work. It was
obvious that the celebration of Saint Nicholas was there to
stay.
Traditionally the Saint visits private homes to hand out gifts. Here a ‘hired’
Saint and Black Peters pay a visit to the house of the writer’s Aunt.
There are clouds of mystique surrounding the
legendary Saint Nicholas. As with all folk heroes, the legend
grew over time, distorting the story, camouflaging the
roots of reality. One of these stories is that Nicholas had
saved three young daughters from a life of spinsterhood
by secretly throwing bags of gold (for their dowries) into
their bedroom. One of the bags accidentally fell into a
stocking. In another version the bags were dropped down
the chimney. It is believed that the custom of gift giving
originates here. These gifts, usually cakes, nuts and fruits,
were wrapped in stockings and left on December 5th, on the
eve of Saint Nicholas’ feast day. Men, dressed in Bishop’s
robes and mitres, mounted on white horses, and carrying
shepherd’s crooks, parades through the streets of towns and
villages and were greeted by jubilant children. Nicholas was
noted as the patron of countless trades and professions, but
it was his special connection with children that set him
apart. Over time parents saw an opportunity to influence
their children’s behaviour. Good kids were rewarded with
gifts ‘from’ Saint Nicholas, the bad ones found birch rods
or switches instead, representing a punishing whip or
two. The various European countries each started using
their own affectionate names for the bishop of Myra;
Sankt Nikolaus or Santiklos in Switzerland, Saint ‘Colas in
France, Sonnerklas in Northern Germany, Sinterklaes and
Sintiklas in the Low Countries. Even Martin Luther, founder
of Protestantism in the early 1500’s, celebrated Sonnerklas
in Germany by buying presents for children. However, he
later banished this tradition and preferred giving gifts on
Christmas in the name of Jesus. On the contrary, Calvinists
banned the idolization altogether. In Amsterdam a bulletin
was issued forbidding the exchange of gifts ‘to prevent
all such disorders and to take the superstition and fables
And then his legend entered the New World. Long
before the Reformation, the Vikings had brought Nicholas
to Greenland, where they even built a cathedral in his
name. Christopher Columbus entered the harbour of Haiti
on December 6, 1492, Saint Nicholas Feast Day, and named
the bay for the bishop of Myra. Merchants and traders who
established New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island (now
part of New York city) in 1625 and followers of the Dutch
Reformed Church did not agree with the admiration of
Saints, but inside the Dutch colony, simple celebrations were
stealthily kept alive by family traditions. The Germans in
Pennsylvania preserved memories of Pelze Nichol and Kris
Kringle (derived from the word Christkind or Christ child)
but their celebrations were not the same of the Old World.
Very little was heard about the myth of Saint
Nicholas until December 8, 1774 an article appeared in the
Rivington’s Gazette (a New York newspaper) announcing,
“Monday next, being the anniversary of Saint Nicholas, will
be celebrated by the descendants of ancient Dutch families.”
Then on December 6, 1810, information regarding the Saint
resurfaced again when John Pintard, a wealthy New Yorker
and founder of, among others, the New York Historical
Saint Nicholas on his white horse, from a postcard by Cynthia Hart.

November 2011 - January 2012 • 11 “The Coming of Santa Claus” by Thomas Nast, 1872.
Society, held a first anniversary dinner for St. Nicholas.
Pintard, from Walloon Huguenot descent, commissioned a
broadside especially for this event. This broadside (a sheet
printed on one side) shows two elaborate engravings by
wood engraver Alexander Anderson. The leftpanel depicted
St. Nicholas in bishop’s attire, tight panel shows a girl
smiling (the good child) and a boy frowning (the bad one
obviously). Printed beneath the picture was the text of a
Dutch verse and its English translation:
“ Sancte Clause Good Heylig Man, Trek Uwe beste
Tabbard Aen” (Saint Nicholas, Good Holy Man, Put
on the Tabard best you can)
This broadside represents the earliest known pictorial
evidence of Saint Nicholas published in America. The first
official written publication, published in1809, is credited
to belong to a lawyer-turned writer, named Washington
Irving. Irving, from Scottish decent, wrote under the pen
name “Diedrich Knickerbocker.” Knickerbockers, officially
a type of short trouser drawn in at the knees and worn by the
old Dutch burghers, was also the nickname for New Yorkers.
In his satiric book “Humorous History of New York from the
beginning of the World to the end of the Dutch dynasty”
the European legend had, after nearly two centuries of
American neglect, resurfaced. His following book entitled
“The Knickerbocker History” is seen as the birthplace of
Santa Claus, although not yet in the shape and form we
see him today. In Irving’s description Saint Nicholas wore
a “low broad-brimmed hat” and “a pair of Flemish trunks
hoses.” He rode in a wagon, drawn by a horse and made
his appearance on December 5th. In the meantime, some
smaller publications emerged. One of them was “The
Children’s Friend, a New Year’s Present to the little ones

November 2011 - January 2012 • 13 As the subtitle indicated, the feast day was in many
households moved from December 5th to December 24th, or
closer to New Year’s.
But the real breakthrough of Santa Claus becoming
an American celebrity occurred on December 23, 1823. In
a New York newspaper, The Sentinel, appeared a poem by
Clement C. Moore called, A Visit from Saint Nicholas. Mr.
Moore, a professor of Greek and Oriental languages had
written this poem privately the previous Christmas for his
own children. An acquaintance loved it so much, that it
was submitted to the editor in 1823, who did not hesitate
to publish this rhyming expression for the love of Saint
Nicholas. Obviously Mr. Moore had been inspired by The
Children’s Friend. Moore made Nicholas “into an elf” and
gave him eight reindeer, named Dasher, Dancer, Prancer,
Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder and Blixem. Only the last
two names were later slightly modified into “Donder” and
“Blitzen.” After 1823 the name Santa Claus became widely
used, allegedly a corruption of the Dutch name Sinterklaes
or Sintiklas.
By 1837 this poem by Clement Moore had been
reprinted hundreds of times. It was later renamed, The
Night before Christmas and became the single most popular
poem ever written about Christmas, reprinted thousands of
times! In addition, the look of present-day Santa Claus can
be credited to Thomas Nast. In 1872 Nast’s rendition of The
Coming of Santa Claus was widely circulated. One look at
that picture and we will recognize “our Santa.”
The legacy of the ancient bishop of Myra was from
now on well established in North America. And although
many countries in the world celebrate Christmas and the
Santa Claus tradition in a different way with many names
and characters, the Spirit of Christmas is the same all over
the world.
It is the Spirit of Love and Goodwill.
Some information contained in this story is derived from an article
called Santa Claus, which appeared in a publication Early American
Life by the Early American Society, December 1979

“ Old Santeclaus with much delight
His reindeer drives this frosty night
O’er chimney-tops, and tracks of snow
To bring his yearly gifts to you”
“ As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes – how they twinkled! His dimples, how
merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin, was as white as the snow;”
13 St No
from 5 to 12” published by New York bookseller William B.
Gilley in 1821. It contained eight hand-coloured lithographs
and eight verse quatrains about “old Santeclaus.” We notice
here that the name of the good saint underwent many
spellings (and misspellings). In this book this saint is shown
in a red suit and travels by sleigh drawn by a single prancing
reindeer.

November 2011 - January 2012 • 19 Glorious Glass:
A Window on Our World
by Susan H. Manyluk, HolmeHus Antiques, Red Deer, AB
Evolutionary phenomena first created glass.
O
bsidian, umber to black glass coloured
by the presence of iron, formed as
hard, shiny bands inter layered with
pumice (glass full of air bubbles) as a result of extreme
volcanic action during the early days of the world’s
formation. Lava pouring from deep inside the earth’s core,
eventually cooled at the surface and solidified. It can be
found in many locations around the world.
It can be shattered by sharp blows or chipped by
controlled pressure applied along its edges. As long as a
million years ago, early man used obsidian to create spear
heads, knife blades, arrow points and tools for cutting
and scraping. Man as the ultimate hunter, large animal
predator and successful butcher; himself evolved as a result
of such tool-making using natural glass deposits. More
protein in his diet improved human brain development for
early man; leading to greater inventive progress, including
glass-making.
Man-made glass was one of the earliest complex
developments and can be traced back to about 2500 years
BC, when craftsmen in Mesopotamia (Iraq and parts of
Syria) were creating beads and other small decorative
objects from three simple ingredients. All were common
and fairly plentiful: sand (silica), soda (sodium carbonate)
and lime (calcium oxide); when combined and subjected to
extreme heat, melt and fuse, and form liquid glass. Gradual
cooling results in a solid material that is clear to opaque,
more or less inert to other substances and can be worked
and shaped in a number of ways.
By 500 BC, Egyptian glass-makers were creating
colourful and highly detailed cast and molded replicas of
various Pharaohs’ faces. Beautifully executed examples
have survived and can be viewed in various museums
around the world. As well, this fluid, adaptable material was
used to create small containers for ointments and perfumed
November 2011 - January 2012 • 21 oils, by forming the molten glass around clay and dung
cores. Privileged Egyptians and Romans treasured these
rare and costly items, and often had them placed among
the grave goods of their kin at the time of burial. By 50 BC
the Romans were “blowing” glass, using a long pipe and
strong lungs to create hollow glass items. Some of these
were cased in a second layer of another colour of glass, then
cooled and later carved back to the original layer, creating
some truly artistically superior “cameo” glass. Many of
these have survived for almost 2000 years and still awe and
delight museum goers to the Corning Museum of Glass,
where many are conserved.
But enough with the history lesson…glass is such a
diverse and complicated material that its impact on society
could fill books. Our fascination with glass is huge and
its usefulness in the worlds of medicine, communication,
architecture and space exploration is indisputable. But it is
as an artistic, yet functional medium, that it inspires cooks
and collectors, decorators and designers all over the world.
Personally I have always been intrigued by glass
containers, ranging from serviceable sealers and cute old
jelly jars to pitchers, jugs, decanters and cocktail shakers.
These were used for serving everything from buttermilk
to beer, wine to water, cordials to cocktails. And since the
holiday entertaining season is soon upon us, some fun
vintage ways to enjoy glass might be a good place to start.
A selection of Deco-era to 1960’s cocktail shakers is
a popular collectable for today’s trendy young homeowners
who are serving unique and very untraditional martinis –
which their parents and grandparents wouldn’t recognize
in a million years. The iconic martini, dry, ice cold and
always stirred, was limited to the best Dutch or English gin
and just a touch of vermouth. It was always served with one
perfect Spanish olive impaled on a cocktail pick; and ever
so carefully positioned on a classy cocktail napkin, in order
to absorb the requisite condensation pearling the outside of
the glass. That is now…Boring.
Instead try Queen Dagmar’s Red Hot Martini: 6 parts
akvavit, stored, of course in your freezer, 2 parts Danish
Cherry Herring, 2 dashes of grenadine; shake over crushed
ice, strain into chilled martini glasses and serve with a
sprig of fresh Rosemary, a tiny peppermint candy cane or
a stemmed fresh cherry, depending on the time of year you

November 2011 - January 2012 • 23 are serving a Dagmar. Accompany with a tray or a glassdomed cheese keeper of Sylvan Star prize winning cheeses,
bowls of fresh nuts to crack, perfect green, black and red
grapes, a selection of crackers and biscuits (home-made
are good), and a choice of olives, harvested from olive trees
planted when the Romans started blowing glass. Your savvy
hospitality will impress the heck out of all your guests, of
all ages. And if Grandpa cannot be convinced to give up his
Grey Goose, James Bond –style, shaken, not stirred, martini
(The Vesper), let him have it.
Ideally you should have a cocktail shaker for each type
of martini you are creating. Keep them refrigerated between
creations; in fact, the glasses and all the ingredients should
also be kept refrigerated. What every martini demands is to
be served ice-cold and consumed with dispatch.
Look for vintage American shakers with great visuals,
like cancan girls, roosters, dancing pink elephants and
various cocktail terminology or drink recipes decorating
them. Fewer examples can be found in coloured glass, with
gilt or striped décor, or with black top hats. Most of those
with pretty florals like lily-of-the-valley, were probably
made in England. Make sure the chrome or aluminum
top fits and has its screw cap and mesh to strain the ice
from the cocktail. Many shakers came with matching
cocktail glasses (rather than martini glasses) for serving
other drinks, but these sets are rarely intact. Buy glasses or
shakers that appeal to you and as you build your collection,
over time you might assemble full sets.
Displayed with other interesting “bar” paraphernalia,
these vintage cocktail shakers and glasses are amusing to
look at, and certainly do help to create a feeling of past
elegance and ultimate sophistication. Next issue, we will
delve into glorious glass decanters, from all over the world.
We, at HolmeHus Antiques and The Farm with The
Good Food, wish you and yours a joyous holiday season and
a great New Year for 2012. And if you wish to visit us in the
coming year, we are now soooo easy to find – just look for

November 2011 - January 2012 • 25 Hens on Nests
by Bob Whitburn, Collector, & Vendor at Where On Earth…did you get that? Antique Mall, Airdrie, AB
BOYD/DEGENHART
The Boyd Crystal Art Glass Company from Cambridge,
Ohio, took over from the Degenhart family when they closed
in 1978, after Mr. Degenhart’s death. They produced the
same 3 HONs, (a 1 ½" Salt, a 3" and a 5" HON). The beauty of
the Boyd hens is that they are clearly marked and the marks
are coded to distinguish in which five year period they were
made. Degenhart only started marking their HONs in the
early 1970s; shortly before their closing and the subsequent
purchase of the molds by Boyd.
MOSSER
The September/October Discovering ANTIQUES
carried Part I of Hens on Nests. Read on to
discover more interesting facts about this
particular glass collectible.
Over the years the Mosser Glass Company, also
located in Cambridge, Ohio; has made four different HONs
for themselves. The small and very distinctive salt, which
is usually marked, is an original to them and was first
produced in 1987. A person I spoke with from the Mosser
plant told me that the 5" hen is a copy but she didn’t know
from whom it was copied (it looks a lot like the von Streit
HON). It was first made in1983. The 4" hen that Mosser
made was from a mold they acquired from the L. G. Wright
Co. in 1999; after pressing it for Wright for years, the mold
originally belonged to Vallerysthal. These hens were made
from 2003 through 2007. The 7" is also an L. G. Wright mold
which they started making in1999. These are all nice HONs
which can be found in many wonderful colours.
L. E. SMITH
The L. E. Smith Glass Co. in Mt. Pleasant,
Pennsylvania makes four very nice HONs; five if you include
their egg plate, which uses the same top as their 6" HON. The
6" HON is very distinctive and not easily confused with any
others of similar size. Likewise their 7" stand-up rooster,
with the parallel leg stance is easily distinguishable. The 3"
hen has a unique scalloped rim around the base, (except for
the one made in Smith’s Confetti Ware which has a smooth
rim); and while copied in size it has no match for quality.
The small salt is very much like the 3" hen as they both have
a clear plain base. Some have a paper label and the more
recent ones are marked with their “S” logo.
FENTON
Next to Westmoreland, The Fenton Art Glass Co.
from Williamstown, West Virginia, probably has the second
largest variety of these dishes. One difference is that several
are made from molds that were purchased or rented from
other companies. The lovely 8" hen was put out in many
colors. There is also a large 7" nesting rooster which is
another example of a mold acquired from a different
company – in this case, Westmoreland. Fenton’s 5" hen is
distinctively their own, although it may have come from
a Challinor and Taylor prototype. It has been produced in
many colors, and sometimes with different coloured tops
and bases. Similarly their 5" rooster has many different
colour combinations but it was originally an L. G. Wright
mold.
Fenton has a very interesting egg platter/server with
their hen ‘top’ on it. They also make a small chick popping
out of an egg on top of a small two-handled basket, which
was also originally a Westmoreland mold. One of the more
interesting Fenton pieces, at least for me, is their 5" chick
emerging from an egg on top of a unique basket bottom.
It was reproduced for Martha Stewart during the recent
jadeite glass resurgence brought on by Martha. Fenton also
November 2011 - January 2012 • 27 reproduced for Martha Stewart their large hen, the egg plate and a
rather unique 5" rooster made from Westmorland Glass 5" rooster
top on the 5" Wright base. L. E. Smith Glass Co. also made some of
their HONs in jadeite for Martha.
As I mentioned earlier, Fenton also made HONs for The
Levay Distributing Co. Gary Levi had worked for Westmoreland and
bought some of their molds, mostly the larger HON molds; after they
closed and stored them at the Fenton plant. Gary had Fenton press
some of these molds and rented some of these for their own use.
Levay usually used colors that Westmoreland hadn’t. Fenton also
made HONs for L. G. Wright and bought the 5" rooster mold when
Wright folded.
KANAWHA
The Kanawha Glass Company only made two HONs. Their 7"
hen is much like the other 7" hens, but it has a faint circle on an
otherwise plain base. They made a lot of nice slag combinations,
meaning two colours of glass mixed together before being put into
the mold. Most were not marked except with a paper label and I have
a rather rare one in satin milk glass. We found it in an old Antique
Mall in Walnut, Iowa, quite by accident. No one seems to know
much about it, although they did produce some of their slag ones in
satin. The standing rooster is quite distinctive from its competitors,
however, as it is standing on a log.
KEMPLE
The Kemple Glass Co. made four HONs. They have both a 7"
hen, and a 7" rooster. These look much like their Westmoreland and
Kanawha hen counter-parts. One difference is the glass is a little
heavier and has stippling inside the rim of the top. Other differences
are a 2 1/2" circle which is embossed on the base (sometimes
marked with a “K” in the center), and the fact that Kemple only
paints half of the hen’s comb. The rooster has bulging eyes built
into the mold rather than sockets for where eyes will later be glued.
Kemple also has a 5" hen and rooster. The tops are like Westmorland
Glass, but the bottoms are a split rib pattern like McKee. These
smaller ones were never embossed with the K but sometimes had
paper labels. The inside of the rim of the top and the inside of the
bottom were sometimes stippled and again, only half of the hen
comb was painted.
The four Kemple HONs continue to be labelled as McKee
reproductions because there was a rumor that Kemple bought
his molds from McKee but this can’t be true because McKee never
made the large dishes and the tops of McKee’s small ones were very
different from Kemple’s. After Kemple closed down, the molds were
sold to Wheaton Industries in 1970. Wheaton produced some HONs

1975 the molds were transferred to the Wheaton Historical
Association, where they are today.
IMPERIAL
The Imperial Glass Corporation in Bellaire, Ohio, only
made two HONs and they didn’t start marking them until
November 1, 1951. Their impressive large nesting rooster on
its lacy edge base is quite distinctive and fairly well known.
It comes in many lovely single colours and combinations of
slag colours. The smaller 4" one is of some interest however.
It is sometimes confused with the similarly-sized Hazel Atlas
(more about this one later), the L. G. Wright’s and the so-called
“Unknown” hens. The thing I have discovered about this
little girl (HON) is that she seems to come with two different
bottoms. One has a very smooth top to the rim, and the other
has a sort of hob-nailed top to the rim. I have seen, and in fact
owned, several of each type in more than one colour so it seems
to be more than just a onetime anomaly
HAZEL ATLAS
Next to the Indiana’s, the Hazel Atlas Glass Co.’s little
hen is probably the second most common one. So why mention
it here? It is because I have found several different marks on
the base of the bottom. There are also some with no mark,
and at least two different versions of the Hazel Atlas mark. Of
course the newer, concentric Cs mark, which is used by the
Continental Can Co. who purchased Hazel Atlas; and finally
some are marked with a number on the base. I have only seen
two of these and I have both of them. I hope that someday,
somebody can explain them to me. I also have another that is
frosted and painted. Does anyone know anything about it? Also
the newer, Continental Can pressings were made in translucent
amber and green glass colours, as well as milk.
As you can see we often talk about HONs by company,
either who manufactured them or sho used them. I like to
categorize them by size and there is a document attached to
this article which lists them by size. They are many and varied
and they do not all look alike. As you know, many makers
mark their products well, which makes identification and
dating much easier. However, many HONs are unmarked and
the molds have been passed from company to company, which
leads to identification challenges. There are many of these
dishes which have unknown origins; but are, never-the-less,
still very collectible.
Cardboard Records
by Fred Hauck, Collector, Redcliff, AB
I n the world of Collectables, a topic I am familiar
with is Record collecting. I have been picking up
records for over 25 years and many thousands of
records have passed through my hands. I have
kept a great many, perhaps in some cases more than my
share – 78’s, 45’s and 331/3 have all found their way into
my collection. I like a lot of different types of music such as
Country & Western, Old Time, Big Band, Jazz and Religious
to name a few. Because the topic of Records is so broad, I
thought I would narrow it down to one particular type of
record: cardboard records.
Records made of cardboard have been around for
many decades. Originally cardboard was used because of
its cheap production cost and durability if properly cared
for. Normal 78 rpm records of the 1930’s and 1940’s were
made of a clay substance, making them very susceptible
to breaking, chipping and/or cracking. A company called
Durium Products Corporation from New York, developed
a 10-inch, 78 rpm record made of thin cardboard with a
brown vinyl covering. The record grooves were cut into the
vinyl. These records were called “Hit of the Week.” Popular
music of the day was recorded onto these records by little
known musicians. I have found many of these over the
years. Mainly due to storage conditions, mint condition
“Hit of the Week” records are not plentiful as most have a
“dish to them” (are no longer flat) and some have creases
in them. Once creased or bent past the point of no return,
the vinyl would flake off. These “Hit of the Week” records
are not valuable.
November 2011 - January 2012 • 31 In the 1940’s, smaller 7-inch, children’s records, with
a very colourful picture, made of cardboard were produced.
These survived a little better due to thicker cardboard.
Nursery rhymes and children’s songs were used. “VOCO”
and the Record Guild of America were two of the companies
producing this type of children’s material. Again, not
extremely valuable and can be readily found with some
searching.
In the 1950’s, cardboard records were produced
largely as promotional items. Made of thin cardboard, these
records were usually part of a larger piece of cardboard that
you had to cut off to access, or tear along a perforated edge.
These 7-inch 78 rpm’s were sometimes part of a magazine
insert.
Rainbo Records of Lawndale, California produced
this type of promotional record. They did have some very
well known artists record for them like Elvis Presley and
Jayne Mansfield, to name a couple. Elvis recorded the 78
rpm “The Truth About Me” in 1956. On this recording,
Elvis talks about his life, cars, music and the possibility of
someday getting married. These records are not common;
as the target audience was teenagers and the records were
made of cardboard, not many survived. One in very good
shape could command $200.00. The Jayne Mansfield is
also from 1956 and she recorded, “The Best Things In Life”
which is also not common. On the reverse of both records
are the instructions about how to play the records.
In the 1950’s, 331/3’s and 45’s had officially taken
over from the 78’s (78’s were discontinued in1958), and the
cardboard records had pictures on them again. Some had
just artwork like Avon’s “New Look In Eye Beauty” (given
to Avon representatives); and some featured celebrities like
American Bandstand’s Dick Clark talking to the young
people of America about careers in the United States Army.
Television shows like “Voices of America” sponsored by 7up,
showed both the television personalities and gave 7up a
large plug. If you requested the record by mail, one would
be sent. Other companies like Mercury (an outboard motor
manufacturer) gave their salesmen records which would
instruct them how to sell Mercury’s products.
An interesting recording in my collection is by
Bing Crosby singing “Because.” The 78 rpm recording
was manufactured by Bing Crosby Phonocards Inc., New
York. It was packaged in an envelope with a colourful wall
plague (cardboard as well) depicting a stained glass church
window.
Many 1960’s and 70’s rock and roll stars also got
into the act. Magazines like “Teen Scoop” would insert a
record into the magazine to boost sales. British invasion
stars, Chad and Jeremy were one such act to get “pulled out
and played.” Another singer, Jimmy Clanton, also graced
a cardboard record singing the title song from “Teenage
Millionaire” a United Artists’ movie. These were given away
in hopes that the young people would flock to the theatres.
On the reverse are the names of other rock and roll singers
who appeared in the same movie.
In 1972, Post cereal gave us Bobby Sherman on a
cardboard record. These records were getting smaller in
diameter and many survived, most in good condition. The
Osmonds recorded a personal message on a 7-inch, 331/3 in
the early 1970’s, and piano-playing Liberace recorded “The
Way We Were” on cardboard to be inserted into boxes of Pot
of Gold chocolates.
Prices on most of these vary, depending on rarity,
condition and the artist who recorded the song. Some
were produced in large quantities like Liberace and Bobby
Sherman, but those by Chad and Jeremy were not as
plentiful.
In 1988, nearing the end of mass popularity for
records, the restaurant chain Burger King, in conjunction
with the television show, “ALF,” gave out records with ALF
doing some cooking on the picture side. “Cooking with ALF”
was the title of the back side and had the words of the song
printed on it. These were given out to kids at the Burger
King restaurants.
One last note, not always do cardboard records appear
as records. One such example was found at an antique show
in Calgary. While looking at a large postcard display, one
odd postcard jumped out at me. It had a picture of former
United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s home on it.
This normal looking postcard has a 78rpm recording over
the picture. I have also seen old Christmas cards set up the
same way.
Another more common item is the home recorded
cardboard records, usually 7 inches in diameter. If you
had a record player that made records, the blank discs
were sometimes cardboard. I have had some with singing,
personal messages (instead of letter writing) and even
recordings taken from the radio.
It seems that as you collect items in your field of
interest, there are always surprises. That is the case with
this particular subject.
