Tony Busan has provided another rare and interesting Casper item to share with all of you, thanks again Tony! Today we have a craft project set for children. It looks similar to the Presto Magix sets I played with as a child. Rubbing the image with a stick or pencil would transfer it to a piece of paper. Here is Hasbro‘s version, Rub-On Magic Picture Transfers Casper Assortment:

It’s been a while since we celebrated National Pin-back Button Day, so I thought I would get a head start on it this year. Today’s exhibit is a pin-back button featuring the Boy Scouts of America celebrating Casper Day in 1975:

The seventh year of operation for the Harvey Mercheum website is not off to a great start. It has been a month since I posted an exhibit, and that exhibit was the first for the operational year. At least today’s exhibit is a good one, still sealed in box and unpunched from 1962! And like the last exhibit, the Wendy doll, it was made by a company we have not seen before, Giant Plastics Corp. I present to you the Casper Cartoon Viewer:

Wendy doll exhibit posted
I can’t believe it has been almost a month since I posted a new exhibit, sorry! The last exhibit was a Casper doll, I thought it would be appropriate to follow it up with a doll of Casper’s friend Wendy. Harvey Comics worked with a number of manufacturers over the years. This Wendy doll was made by a company we have not seen before, but is still in business, Kellytoy:

Some excellent progress this morning on the toys Mattel made for Harvey! First off, I embedded a television commercial for the Casper Music Box on its exhibit page under External links.

I frequently say how it is better to see museum exhibits in person, but with the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) going around, virtual museums are having their moment! I am going to use this time in the spotlight to share the other exhibit Richie Rich Yahoo Group member Duff recently submitted. It is another of the wonderful “mini-maquettes” made by Electric Tiki. It seems like just yesterday I posted the Richie Rich Artist Proof, but it was over a year ago! Today we have his girlfriend, Gloria:

Richie Rich iron-on patch guest exhibit
Today we have a new exhibit from an old friend of the Harvey Mercheum! Our first guest contributor, Richie Rich Yahoo Group member Duff, recently got back in touch with me, and submitted photos of two more items from his collection to share with you, my readers! Long-time readers of the Mercheum Blog may recall the first guest exhibit, the Richie Rich Video Set by JA-RU. Today we have an embroidered iron-on patch of Richie Rich by Kalan LP, which is still in business making novelties:

Today we have the last of the guest exhibits from Rick Beckham. Long before they worked with PolyGram’s Parachute label, Harvey Comics used Peter Pan Records to make a number of story records. Today we have “Where Do You Hide In A Haunted House?” backed with “Good Luck Isn’t Bad”:
