Hi everyone,
I am seeking a retro accessories for my bug. Those who were kids in the 70-80s will remember the plastic waving hand in the rear side window of mom  s car. Mounted on a spring and succion cup base, the hand kept waving at every stop.
Would you happen to know where I can find any of those retro waving hand?
regards
jf

Hi vwovale56,
If you haven't already, you may want to explore your local gift/gag-gift/novelty-type stores.
I was able to find one a few years ago at my local novelty store (they do not have a website):
But, it does not have any manufacturer/company markings on it and I have been unable to find a similar one online (although, interestingly, I came across a post about a recent patent application for a "window-mounted waving [peace sign] hand" here: http://www.your-story.org/window-mounted-waving-hand-7138/).
I am planning on going to my local novelty store this weekend and I'll look to see if they have any waving hands for sale.
If so, I'll write down the manufacturer/company info and let you know...
If not, you could probably make one rather easily out of cardboard or wood (its been a while since I looked, but you may be able to find a pre-cutout hand shape at a craft store).
Hope that gives you some ideas!
Take care,
BayDreamin |

Even the new ones are hard to find-- my local novelty store is no longer selling them...
Good luck with your search! |
