William E. Nobel
Dear Friend,
In 1980 I traveled from CA to KS to attend a youth conference. On route I came across 50's Decal that were produced by William E. Nobel, (21 in total). They are in their original wax paper envelopes and they are quite amusing. I've carried them around for 31 years. Do they have any value? Just curious. Thanks, Sotero Bernal

Hi Sotero,

glad you looked in on my site. Decals are indeed a fun collectible and often amusing and interesting; a bit of social history. There is indeed a value in these things, depends on subject matter and condition. If you look on for instance eBay you see prices ranging from 99 cents to over a (crazy) hundred bucks, again depending on what is depicted and how much two or more people want it. If you do not want or need to sell them keep them as a memento of your trip but tell your family these are not things to be stuck somewhere by the kids, haha !
Do you have the possibility to send me some scans of them, would be interested in seeing them.
All the best,
Sjef

Wisconsin mementos
Just back from a family trip in WI. Came across everyone's dream- a small gift shop that hadn't been opened for decades- proprietor agreed to let us in and we bought a bunch of old stuff- she threw in 4 vintage decals which inspired an internet search and a visit to your site - good work!!

Very nice to look at all these decals.
It would be a good idea to organize your pages by county in a submenu by making links on the viible page and the picts on the linked hidden pages.
Just an idea, but the pics look great.
Cheers Margie

decals
When I was 5 (1965) I was given 37 decals from the 50s (lindgren turner co), ( Duro decal co inc from Chicago),( Lingren brothers)...all of them in their original enveloppes. I believe they are from 1953 as the person who gave them to me had hitchiked North America during that year. For instance i have New York City statue of liberty, times square, also DC, Hollywood,ca, Quebec City, Seatlle, Vancouver, LA, San Francisco, Butte, Montreal, San Diego, Reno, etc...i am interested to sell them...please let me know if interested...Marc

Dear Marc,
definitely sounds interesting. Can you give me a clue what you are asking for them ? If the price is acceptable for me I would like a scan of the decals. Looking forward to your reply. Best regards,
Sjef
