buddy2 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hi everyone, I have been involved in buying/reading comics off/on since the 60's. I am new to the boards but thought I'd post a question to see if anyone might have any insight/information about a Marvel comic rack I bought many years ago and still have (including box). The box says Cadillac Corporation Elmsford, NY. I did some internet searches but haven't come up with a lot on it. I posted photos below. Any ideas on the age? ( Think its from the 60's but not sure). Any one have one like this? Anyone have information about it? Thanks for any information or insight you may have BuscemasAvengers, Turnando and aardvark88 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have information about it? The picture of Spidey is a clue to its age - that image first turned up on the May 1967 issue: Here's a thread which might be interesting - it's Golden Age, but it shows the members who have an interest and may know more: BuscemasAvengers and Austin_t_a 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Marwood & I Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 First appearance May 1970, so the rack can't be from the 1960's: badback83, Austin_t_a, KirbyJack and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I'm going to guess Mid-1970s. The graphics on the box, plus the character poses screams the twenty to twenty five cent cover era. Very nice piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) @TellshiarMarvelmaniaCollector doesn't sign on to often, but he's an expert in marvel advertising and I imagine he may know something about this. Maybe try PMing him if he doesn't happen to see this? Edited October 11, 2020 by KCOComics kav and Icculus308win 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TellshiarMarvelmaniaCollector Posted October 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hi, it is from 1970 and the company that produced them (and other racks of that period) was Cadillac. It's nice you have the original box. It came in black and red wiring. F For Fake, ADAMANTIUM, Get Marwood & I and 20 others 17 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Pontoon Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Also, that image of Spider-Man may have first appeared as a colophon in 1967, but it dates from 1965, the main cover image of ASM Annual #2. Unca Ben and lizards2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Boy Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 That’s a great classic rack you have! One of the comic book racks on my list ... still searching for one to acquire for my comic room. Lately with the Covid mess running wildly, it seems that the new discovery racks aren’t showing up in auctions or in ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
