Casper music boxes [new guest exhibits]

Posted on March 18, 2023 by Jonathan SternfeldMarch 18, 2023  
Casper music box, Casper and Wendy variant front view

Music boxes are not as popular as they once were, but that did not stop United Silver & Cutlery Co. from making not one, not two, but six different music boxes with our friend Casper! It’s times like these that I am glad Tony Busan is as much of a completionist as I am, because here are all six exhibits, enjoy!

Another light-up porcelain decor item from Tony Busan today. This one is battery powered instead of using tea lights, and Tony says the lantern blinks! Very cute!

Casper Premiere Party Pass

Posted on February 18, 2023 by Jonathan SternfeldFebruary 18, 2023  
Casper Premiere Party Pass front view

I have talked before about the huge amount of merchandise produced for the 1995 live action Casper movie. It is easy to recognize this merchandise by the logo used, with Casper peeking over his name like Kilroy. This movie was actually just the first of five, although it was the only theatrical release.

Into the Harveyverse!

I have been experimenting with ChatGPT because, well, all the cool kids are doing it. After unsuccessful attempts at getting it to write my biography, and then to write my next magazine article (which should be published in the fall), I decided to try something simpler.

Porcelain Candle Lights [new guest exhibits]

Two exhibits for the price of one today! Of all the porcelain decor items Tony Busan sent me pictures of, I think these are my favorites! I believe they are more commonly called “votive holders”, but these spooky trees are designed to hold tea lights inside them to make them glow. Much like other items we have already seen, the same box was used for both trees. Thanks again Tony!

I am taking a break from Tony Busan‘s Casper contributions to fulfill a request from the Harvey Comics Facebook group. While the Grand Comics Database does list some Tempo Books, they do not list puzzle, riddle or other activity books, so I feel okay posting this book.

Ephemera Collecting

Posted on January 15, 2023 by Jonathan SternfeldJanuary 15, 2023  

Having spent much of my childhood in libraries and museums, it was only natural that I looked to these institutions for inspiration when I started seriously working on the Harvey Mercheum permanent collection. I took a class in conservation techniques, then started research into how to run a museum, then ended with museum exhibit best practices and products.

Interview on Dollar Bin Bandits

Alas, we have reached the last of the many great things that happened at TerrifiCon 2022, but certainly not the least! Oren Phillips visited my corner booth, and, after speaking to me about what I was doing, he asked to interview me for Dollar Bin Bandits. I was quite surprised, because they typically interview comic book creators, and honored because they have interviewed some of the biggest names in the industry. You can listen to the interview here:

Casper Porcelain Night Light [new guest exhibit]

Posted on January 8, 2023 by Jonathan SternfeldJanuary 8, 2023  
Casper Porcelain Night Light unboxed view

It’s been way too long since I posted a new exhibit. Let’s fix that right now by returning to Tony Busan‘s Casper contributions! Today we have a lighted house, marked as a night light on the box. Another variant exists, as shown on one of the sides of the box. The same box was used for both, and which one was inside was indicated by a check mark, as shown in the other picture. Thanks again Tony, and happy new year!
