Rare large Macintosh Finder "Happy Face" window stickers

These are rare Apple Mac OS Finder store window stickers measuring 8" x 10". The photo was taken on April 11 with light shining through to show what they will look like when the backing paper is removed - if it it ever removed; the value is in the unused condition... just sayin'. This is the splash screen boot icon of System 8 (and then 9 and X) that replaced the Happy Mac icon with the introduction of the PowerPC.

There are 3 available; they are rare and long out of production. These are not decals but stickers that were used on the inside of the display windows of Apple stores and resellers dating back to the mid 90's. They are installed like the clear protective screens on iPads etc. They are priced for the serious collector at $55 each plus postage. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Vintage 90's Apple t-shirt IBM I Bought Mac

This is a classic white Apple Macintosh size Large t-shirt. It is from the 1994 MacWorld Expo in Boston. It has the often punned take on IBM: I Bought Mac. It features a rainbow IBM on the back. It is a Hanes Beefy-T size Large made in the USA of 100% cotton. It appears to be brand new old stock; it was stored for many years by an Apple collector in Hawaii.

While quite a popular play on the IBM logo from back in the day, this theme is becoming very rare as they go into collections and seldom come out. Big Blue was not overly tickled by the use of their logo and the picture with the Applized IBM has been removed from page 179 of the '97 edition of the Apple T-Shirt Book. A mid-80's blue variation is shown on page 13 with the text I Build Macs. This shirt is priced at $55 with mailing at cost. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
