Perkins' Fanta-Mals (Commercial #1, 1974?)
Views: 1653
Here's kind of a rare oddity - a commercial for a "coloring book/cut-out paper dolls kit" type toy called Fanta-Mals (or Mini-Mals) by Perkins. This was found on an old 3/4" tape and dates to about 1974 or 1975. Does anyone remember these?
Features the Fanta-Mals mascot - "Ralf", the green monster with the pink umbrella.
Again, not sure when or where these aired.

WVTV Channel 18 [Milwaukee, WI] - "Partial EBS Test" (1980)
Views: 2850
Here's a partial test of the Emergency Broadcasting System on an unknown station in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. The person was recording some Woody Woodpecker cartoons and although they cut out the commercials they did decide to record most of the EBS test. It's pretty simple, consisting only of a single, rather discolored slide.
Did they have to traumatize kids by airing these tests during cartoons? It seems like they did the same thing in Chicago too from what I recall....

Views: 10730
Ah, this one is great on so many levels...the funky bassline, the organ music, the creepy Santa...oh man. Here's a commercial for Dispensa's Castle of Toys in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois on Route 83 and Roosevelt Road.
I probably should have posted this back during Christmas but oh well. I'm sure you'll forgive me. 
The only other Dispensa-related commercial we had until this one ...

Views: 1611
Here's Santa Claus, shown here holding a book with children gathered around him, promoting a 976 phone number in which Mrs. Claus would speak with children on the phone while he's out delivering toys. Mrs. Claus is heard by voiceover near the end, going on about how busy Santa is.
Disclaimer shown at end: "Call Rates To Downtown Chicago Apply - By Phone Programs, Illinois." Another voiceover (by ??) advises children to get their parents' permission before calling.
Mattel - "Mork & Mindy Toys" (Commercial, 1979)
Views: 870
Here's a commercial for a collection of toys by Mattel based on the TV show Mork & Mindy. Includes:
Mork doll with Talking Spacepack - "Says 8 things"
Mork Talking Ragdoll - "Says 7 things" (some even halfway intelligible)
Mork from Ork (this would have been my favorite - a little Mork action figure inside an egg that you can open - I pretty much did this myself when my mom gave me the egg from her pantyhose to play with)
Ork...
