I had to sell off some of my collection to pay for this LSU collection I just bought from ebay:

VINTAGE LSU MEMORABILIA LOT sugar bowl 1958 poster - eBay (item 330230149774 end time Apr-28-08 10:39:09 PDT)

One of the items I wanted (not the main item tho) was this LSU bobblehead from the 60's. it is pretty rare, I had never seen one.



Well, I show my wife my purchase and she says, "I had some bobbleheads like that when I was a kid and they use to be in my mother's attic."

Her mother has been re-modeling their house the last couple years and has been throwing tons of stuff away.

We go by there to see if she threw them away. There sitting in a box in the attic were these:



She gave them to me, of course

Wonder how the soda tastes after all those years.

You just have all the luck

Wonder how the soda tastes after all those years.

These are bobbleheads. They have heads that sit on a spring and giggle around. They are not soda bottles.

Scratch that, you are talking about the LSU soda can, sorry.

Those are really nice. I'm surprised she didn't remember that they were there knowing what a big LSU fan you are.

Are those bobbleheads made in Japan? I know they are highly collectible. I have seen nice Redskins bobbleheads from the '60's easily sell for $250+.

The LSU and Saints look like Dupes so maybe place the lessor condition one on two Ebay auctions and use the money to purchase a different bobble head?

Wow that's a great story.
