New Arrivals This Week, Part II

Several other unique items include a 1950's Pabst Motion Car sign and 1946 AMI A Mother of Plastic Jukebox. Both are great examples of rec room and bar collectibles.

Pabst started the brewery on Chestnut Street Hill in Milwaukee with a capacity of 18 barrels. Later, in 1863, Frederick Pabst, a steamship captain and son-in-law of Phillip Best, bought a share in Best and Company, by which time the brewery was already selling a lager that they began bottling in 1875 under the name Best Select.

The history of the AMI jukebox begins with the National Automatic Music Company, which was founded in 1909 as a producer of automatic player pianos. In 1927, the same technology was adapted and used to create the first AMI jukebox. Early AMI jukeboxes were very popular and influential because they could play both sides of the 78-rpm records that they used. This technology was employed for nearly three decades with the only changes coming in the form of increased capacity.

AMI employed popular architectural styles of its time to create the aesthetic feel of their jukeboxes. The "Top Flight" model, which was produced in 1936 and 1937, is Art Deco in its design and calls to mind many early New York City skyscrapers. The AMI A is one of the larges, most colorful jukeboxes ever produced.

Check back in several weeks when both of these pieces are being auctioned on eBay.

New Arrivals This Week, Part I

This week, we have several very unique pieces that have arrived at the store. This includes a 1964 Mosrite Ventures Model solid body electric guitar and 1964 Vox Twin 10 AC-10 tube guitar amp.

The Vox amp was manufactured in England by Jennings Musical Industries.Vox is a musical equipment manufacturer which is most famous for making the Vox AC30 guitar amplifier, the Vox electric organ, and a series of innovative but commercially unsuccessful electric guitars and bass guitars.[citation needed] Founded in Kent, England, Vox has been owned by the Japanese electronics firm Korg since 1992. Vox amps have been used by many other artists including Hank Marvin, Pete Townshend, John Scofield, Snowy White, Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, Peter Buck, Justin Hayward, Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork as well as The Beatles and many others.

The guitar is a Mosrite, originally based in Bakersfield, California in 1952. The same year as Fender started. Founded by Semie Moseley, Mosrite guitars were played by many rock and roll and country artists such as Jimi Hendrix, The Ventures, The Ramone's Tommy Tedesco, The Strawberry Alarm Clock, Davie Allan, Kurt Cobain, Joe Maphis, Buck Owens, Larry Collins, Buck Trent, Nick McCarthy, , the MC5, Iron Butterfly, Dottie Rambo. Arthur Lee Love, Fred Sonic Smith, Ricky Wilson, Kayama Yuzo, and Kevin Shields. Virtually everyone who is anyone has owned a Mosrite at some time in their life. People like Brian Wilson of The Beachboys, Jimi Page, Duane Allman. Roy Buchanan. Larry Gatton, Rick Springfield, & hundreds of well known musicians (Too many to list) have all been captured by the allure of the Mosrite guitar. In the 60's a Mosrite was priced at approximately double of a Fender Stratocaster.

These two pieces are a great example of superb craftsmanship and sound. Check back in several weeks when they are sold at no reserve on eBay.
