I may be biased since I worked at the Autry Museum...but Gene Autry was
huge, as were Annie Oakley (television also produced by Autry), Hopalong
Cassidy (who licensed his personality to everything - including hair
tonic), Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. All those t.v. shows created tons of
merchandise, and fairly fanatic fans!

Subject: 1950s Christmas gifts!
Hi all,
I am planning a 1950s exhibition for Christmastime
this year (called "Jingle Bell Rock: a 1950s
Holiday"), and our theme is going to be things that
would have been given or recieved as Christmas gifts.
I am grouping them into categories by family member,
like "Gifts for Dad," "Gifts for Teens," etc.
So I want to pick your brains about CLASSIC 1950s
objects that we absolutely MUST include.
We will be soliciting museum members, the community,
and other local museums for loan items to augment our
collection. I would like to provide a "wish list" of
what we're looking for.
Thank you!
Kim Kenney
