I just searched 20+ pages on E-bay & found a lot of interesting & unusual things. I am just curious if you all would like to see some of them, i have 60 pictures ready to go. Some of the stuff we may have already seen, & some maybe not.
Like, who would not want a SDC match book?!!
Let me know ya all..
-
There was a time when pipe tobacco was sold in the General Store. You got a book of matches with your purchase. At some shop locations...like the candle shop, matches were sometimes laid out on the counter for free or for sale. When the matches became scarce items on park, employees who smoked would smack your hand if you tried to take their book of matches. One of our maintenance guys at the diving bell somehow secured a partial box of them, and hoarded them for later use. He actually let me have a couple of books, which was like the president giving a pardon. I felt lucky to get them!
--
YES, please post more photos of the best ebay finds of SDC stuff, I WANT TO SEE THEM! :)
-
I am kind of anxious to see if you & Rube have some of these items! My brother told me about all this, he said there is 59 pages to look thru!!
Nice SDC ashtray, & thimble.
-
I for some reason cannot see any of the photos, but i can say I have everything from SDC coasters (cardboard) to thimbles, and yes even matchbooks...I am eager to attempt to see what You are talking about. I rarely bid on things only because I do have a good amount of them. I have picked up a few items from eBay lately, but nothing too odd, just things that came up that I didn't have, angles of postcards from different places etc.
Sister got me a backwoods patch from 1977 that was a boy scout thing...and I got a few VERY cool things at Christmas.
-
Switched to Chrome and could see them, yep that's the matchbook I have! Some of my stuff makes me wonder how I have only in my 30 years seen 1-2 of certain things. I know things were MASS produced, but it is funny how few items of certain kinds actually come up for sale.
-
I understand the Herschends have a large, private collection of items, I just wish they would put it on display somewhere.
-
A small pill box & another ashtray. Makes ya wonder how many types of ashtrays have been made at SDC over the years. :D
-
Junior... they could gut Jacks sanich shop and display in there.... I am sure not everything would fit, but that would so neat to see,,
-
I have about a dozen different glass ashtrays. When I had them autograph the board game, Jack said he had no memory of it, to which Sherry replied, "We never thought about keeping one of each item..."
If "Rube" and I ever get a hold of an old cabin, the two of us would have QUITE a collection to display! :)
-
I will let you in on a secret...hope RUBE does not mind...A couple of times when my collection has gotten too much to handle, I've packed it up and shipped it to Rube, so he could add to his collection. I just hope I have not sent him doubles or triples of things he already has! HA! For the most part, I'm down to the paper things I have in my files, and a few odd pieces left over from my days of employment on park. Others have been kind to me regarding sharing their collections...I think three or four others here sent me items relating to the 50th anniversary, or some odd piece they picked up somewhere and had an extra copy of. We all love the park, so I think it is great we share our collectables. Just wish there was a central place we could put it on display. To the hardcore SDC fan, it would be a cool trip back in time to see all that stuff. :)
-
SDC Cook Book.
SDC hat pin
-
Not a problem Junior, I still feel that my work for you did not warrant such a generous payment, but I am not one to argue!
I do have a sizable collection that even after showing an employee of HFEC my full collection, let me know that they indeed have a large collection that is very well documented with SDC/ Marvel Cave history. What fun that would be to see that as an exhibit at SOTO! I would pay to see that one (Heck I paid to sit in the Beverly Hillbillies Truck!).
I did get one great piece recently from a close friend that is something I have never seen, a booklet titled "Ozark Folklife Festival 1986) where among the stories of craftsmen and recipes, there is a great map with areas of the park labeled for various countries, very much a Worldfest idea going on here.

-

-
SDC sword??!!
SDC sailor hat
-
The hat has been up for some time now. The sword, I really have no use for an item sold in the park that neither was made there, nor does it represent/ label itself as from there. I am a memorabilia snob I guess!
-
i hear ya Rube. i looked at all the pics of the sword, & no where did it say SDC anywhere.
-
SDC Saloon pin. Love it with the swinging doors!!
And the ol' pop-gun.
-
Man I loved my pop gun; still have it somewhere. I rememeber popping that thing for hours! ahh memories

There are to the best of my knowledge, three editions of the book. Each edition is updated. You can tell the different editions by the background color on the cover where Silver Dollar City is printed....blue, green, and orange. Green is first edition, blue 2nd, orange is the 3rd edition.

This is the SDC that I love! Best video yet!
-
That is the SDC I remember. There was something more intimate about it then. Maybe it was the times.
-
The video pictured above is from 1990. I have a copy. It was about a 20 minute long "Howdy and welcome to the city" type thing. It was more of a promotional video that possibly aired on the Vacation Channel or at trade shows or something, not really a great or wonderful video...but, it does showcase some of our old SDC citizens...like Terry Sanders and a few others we have all come to know and love over the years. Most of the people pictured in the video have moved on, but Danny the Minstrel featured in the video is of course Danny with the Front Porch Pickers.
-
Thanks for the info Junior!!
here is a great SDC book! when toys came to SDC, from 1978.
-
With the book, you are again in the late '70s. SDC had a board game, some coloring books, and some kids books. Most, if not all, produced by Wiskur and Company located in Harrison, AR. Wiskur and Company may have also done some of the big street maps they had for sale at the time. If you find any of the stuff mentioned, you better hang on to it. Not much exists anymore.
-
I would love to get my hands on the board game.
-
another SDC badge
and another SDC pendant
-
I think a few people on the forum have the board game.
-
a wooden nickle
-

-
I think a few people on the forum have the board game.
I've got the boardgame, and both of the coloring books. Still would like to get the card game, but that one is even harder to find!
-
Umy and the Goodtimers! Wow! They played from time to time at the little stage on the turnstyle side of the Hospitality House. When we had greeting lines with SDC citizens saying hello and goodbye to the guests this band was playing some good ol' bluegrass and traditional music. At that time, late 70's early, early 80s, it would have been highly unusual to have someone in a wheelchair actually performing in the 1880s area of the park. Umy and the Goodtimes played as close as they could get, and they did a great job. I have done my Jed Clampett shuffle to their music while portraying Junior many times. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. They usually played, I think, during the Mountain Folks Music Festival held each spring. Maybe at a few other times through the year, too. They were not a regular group. They just appeared every now and then.

can anyone tell me what this is?
-
This one stumps me. I know there are some publishers that take internet info and compile it into books. It appears this could be such a project. The cover photo does not appear to have anything to do with the cave.
-
Found this today, thought it was funny, selling this years ornament already, when most of us have not even had the chance to pick ours up.....
