They are probably for sale somewhere, but not around here. Last time I remember seeing a bunch of them was in a Stuckey's alongside a freeway in Georgia. The place was full of junk, but then I was only in there to buy the pralines. I do recall my folks having a variety of joke items that were brought out for parties in the '50s. Still have some of those around here. Thanks for the reminder of those oddities.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-74103400690722589242011-03-06T07:58:27.448-08:002011-03-06T07:58:27.448-08:00Thanks for stopping by everybody, and for leaving ...Thanks for stopping by everybody, and for leaving your thoughtful comments.

I saw similar underwear items when we cleaned out my Mom's house but tossed them as they belonged to her 2nd husband, and no one wanted them. His oil manual and rig photos are very intersting.
