Unk Mfr (Maybe 'Applause') - PVC Flintstones Flivver / Flintmobile

I have had a hankerin' to post more Flintstones toys for months now and I think I'm ready for another go-round. In the early years of the blog - 2011-2013 - The Flintstones played a big role here and there were tons of posts. Then it died down until 2017-2018 when the next round hit. Then that died down, but all the while there were still unposted files and photos on the computer to share. So ya know what? - let's do it again!! Yabba Dabba Dooooo!    

This was bought many years ago and was not identified by the seller as to who made it. While it is marked with Hanna-Barbera's trademark, that doesn't mean Hanna-Barbera made it. I'm guessing it could be 'Applause' but don't quote me on it. Fred's Flivver (or Flintmobile or Flintstonemobile) measures  2.25" (5,71cm) L x 2" (5,08cm) W x 1.875" (4,76cm) H. 

This will probably not be a daily post right now as I organize my files a bit better and take more photos, but at least we got the ball rolling.

Today's featured bird is in the middle.

I have no clue what this awkward looking plane was meant to represent, however, it does somewhat resemble an F7F Tigercat which served from the end of WWII to 1954.

BREWERIANA: Reggies Beverage Co. (Steak House) Camp Red Cloud, ROK Beer Glass

It's been a few months since my last 'breweriana' post so here goes.

Sooo, it's like ~2330hrs, Sunday, 2 Jan 2000 and I get off the plane at Seoul to be greeted by several of my new co-workers at the airport. I've been assigned to the 607th Air Support Operations Group (607 ASOG) at Osan AB, Republic of Korea and they've come to greet me and help me get 'settled in'. By the time we get to Osan AB there is a nice blanket of snow on the ground and I'm taken to the 'Crack House' (the somewhat inglorious name given to the ancient barracks building serving as Temporary Lodging Quarters - TLQ). By this time it's o-dark-thirty (about 0130hrs) and I have to be at the Group HQ building by 0600, dressed and ready to go. 

There I meet more of my co-workers and by 0700hrs we are off to spend a couple of days on the road doing a subordinate unit inspection. Our first stop was Camp Casey where we were busy with the inspection (basically subordinate Air Force units of TACP, Combat Comm, and other essential combat support roles to the Army fell under our command and control). If memory serves me right, it was the next day when we drove to Camp Red Cloud for ??? I totally forgot why we had to go there but while there, we ended up eating at Reggie's, a popular on-installation steak house and micro-brewery! I believe since then it was taken over by another firm and is no longer called 'Reggie's. Of course you know I just had to get a souvenir glass and here it is!!

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 46 Airplanes: Pt 11 Mini-Bomber - Salmon SP

No Payton collection would be complete without at least a couple of the brightly colored pieces in it. While the olive green colors are terrific as Army pieces, toys were all about bright colors back in the day and to that end we have this salmon colored mini-bomber to post today.
