Superheroic School Supplies

[RSS]

One of my sideline obsessions (because I need more) are these mid seventies to early eighties superhero school supplies by Alco. I proudly had the Batman from this set on my desk as a kid and I remember our local stationary store (remember those?) had a display of these in the window.

This Shazam is the sole carded entry into the series, I remember seeing it as a kid wondering why he was holding a lighting bolt like that.

This Wonder Woman is a later run by Alco, Wonder Woman is usually the first one you find of most vintage toy lines.

Stumbled on these at a local toy show of all places. As you can see my collection isn't huge, it probably wasn't wise to turn on others to this, see you on ebay!

I never had anything that cool. But I did have a little ice-skating girl pencil sharpener and a lenticular TV pencil sharpener w/ a man bowling on it.

still have my Batman pencil sharpener sitting on my desk, and a yellow Batman pencil case in my desk drawer. Only thing that made school even remotely palatable some days!!

Those are cool. I wouldn't have used those eraser tho, wouldn't wanna destroy the art

Hey Brian, you ever get that ruler couple of weeks ago on eBay?

I still have my Batman bust pencil sharpener (where he's holding a red bat...thingee or something). I seem to recall a full figural one like WW as well.

Nice to see Batman and Bugs are tight. I know they met in that 70s stage show, but I thought he was more down with Scooby Doo?

I got the Captain Marvel pencil sharpener as part of a larger lot of Shazam stuff once (and, fyi, I'm always looking for Cap material) and wondered about the blue bolt but never got an explanation.
