Knott's Bits

 Well, last week's post didn't exactly make a huge stir, so I think I'll make this week's even more boring! In all honesty, it seems like the summer months run a little lighter in views anyway, so why not post about slightly less interesting stuff?

For this week, I have some items that I collected just because they have the name "Knott's Berry Farm" on them. They're not real vintage, but they're still kind of nice. I picked them up at a couple of garage sales. Whanna see 'em? Huh? Huh? Well here we go!

First we have this tiny tea cup and saucer. As I said, it's not horribly old because they're using the "new" logo. Of course that logo went into use around 1978, so there could be a little age there. This cup and saucer is a pretty standard souvenier item, and I've actually seen the exact same one decked out with New Orleans decals. In doing my usual in depth research job, I found out that I'm actually missing the most interesting part of the set (at least to me). Here's an eBay listing with all of it...

Yep, I gots no teapot. Do I want it enough to order it? Probably not, so I'll stick with the picture...

The next items are these:

Full sized coffee cups! Again, with the "new" logo. I get the feeling these are much newer than the tiny tea set. Still, they're nice and functional. For some reason I thought these might not have come directly from the park, but been in a berry jam gift set. I can almost remember seeing something like that... But when I tried to look that item up, it apparently only existed in my fevered brain. Indeed most post claim they DID come from the park, so what the heck do I know? By the way, I do like their jam a lot...

Of course there should be four, but I've only ever owned three. I suspect number four met it's doom on a kitchen floor at some point. Such is life...

Anyway, these aren't exactly standout pieces from my collection, but they're kind of fun anyway. They also prove that if you slap a logo on something, some goofball will end up buying it just because of the logo. Yes, I am that goofball.

So until next time, keep searching for treasure!
