The animal rights crowd won't like this 1929 ad. A wombat coat? Sounds weird, but what a deal! You save $14.

Somebody came up with the idea of comparing fresh eggs to fresh Old Gold cigarettes. (You have to chuckle at the rooster offering the hen a smoke.)

One of the weirder phenomena of the 1920s was the popularity of flagpole-sitting, a strange publicity gimmick mastered by Alvin (Shipwreck) Kelly. In 1924 Kelly was hired by a Hollywood press agent to promote a new film by sitting on the flagpole above the Los Angeles theater where the movie was playing. He remained there for 13 hours and 13 days, starting a bizarre national craze. By 1928 Kelly was earning over $100 per day for his stunts--fantastic money in those days. The apex of Kelly's career occurred in 1930 when he spent 1,177 hours atop a 125-foot flagpole at Atlantic City's Steel Pier. The Great Depression, however, diminsihed the public's appetite for such stunts. By the end of 1930 Kelly's stunts were earning him little more than pocket change. His last public appearance of any significance occurred in 1939. Broke and on welfare, Kelly dropped dead in 1952 while walking between two parked cars in New York City. Clutched tightly in one arm was a scrapbook containing clippings and momentos from his glory days as King of the Flagpole Sitters.

Here's a wee challenge. What category would you fit this one into.? I know it's history. But is it, sappy, quirky or just plain weird.? You decide.

My continuing quest to bring strange, wonderful and the just plain weird music hits to those who may not have heard them.
