The Diner Store

narrow down our inventory. We also set up at flea markets and trade shows. Be sure to check our Events tab to see when and where we’ll be! Here are some of the more popular categories of collectibles that we offer:
Diner:
Remember the blue plate special, when a steaming hot meatloaf and giant pile of homemade mashed potatoes could be had for under a dollar? Remember putting a quarter in the wallbox to hear your favorite tune while enjoying a frosty root beer float? Bring that diner feel home to your own kitchen or basement with our nostalgic collectibles. We have a huge selection of Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, and other soda-pop brand merchandise, from advertising signs to figurines, musicals to banks, and more. We have metal and porcelain signs for vintage foods and restaurants, diner-themed cookbooks, and even preprinted menus! If you’re looking for period accessories for your own restaurant or basement diner, check out our stainless steel tabletop necessities (salt & pepper shakers, sugar shakers, etc). Roadside:
There’s nothing like cruising down a two-lane highway, windows down, wind in your hair, with rockabilly on the radio and the sun shining overhead. The iconic diners, hotels, and gas stations along the roadside beckon the weary traveler to get a cup of coffee, a burger, or a good night’s sleep. It’s memories like these that last a lifetime. We have a wide variety of Roadside Americana collectibles to bring those memories back! Check out our Route 66 signs, figures, frames, ceramics, and more. For you Lefton collectors, take a look at our Great American Diners, Spectacular Vernaculars, and Billboards of Yesteryear, among others. We have metal and porcelain signs for gas stations and car brands, and ceramic mugs, tea pots, and other collectibles in the Roadside theme. Ceramic Collectibles:
The charm of hand-crafted, hand-painted ceramic collectibles is still going strong, and we have a great assortment of Fitz & Floyd, Omnibus, Vandor, Clay Art, and Treasure Craft pieces. From cookie jars and canister sets to salt & pepper shakers and coffee mugs, we have it all! If you have a great cookie jar with a chipped lid or a flawless salt shaker with a broken pepper shaker, let me know. Check out our Fitz & Floyd Collection and the rest of our Diner Store! Betty Boop:
Who can resist the beauty and charm of America’s most classic cartoon heroine, Betty Boop? Her puppy-dog eyes and iconic figure are instantly recognizable even now, eighty years after her debut. Check out our Betty Boop Collection on ebay to see figurines, signs, and other merchandise with our favorite Talkartoon star! Music:
Rock ‘n’ roll was born in the 1950s, the result of blending blues with country and jazz into a signature sound that still tops the charts today. We have a large selection of merchandise related to the King, Elvis Presley – figurines, musicals, signs, and more. We also have some excellent Beatles merchandise – figurines, signs, musicals, ceramics, frames, and even a lifesize cardboard stand-up! Check out our ebay store for more musical collectibles to keep your rockin’ collection fresh and full. Flamingos:
The bright pink bird with long black beak and slender orange legs has become an integral part of our culture since the Art Deco period, when fancy hotels and other public buildings incorporated their sleek form into their design. Now, the pink flamingo is synonymous with tropical beaches, warm days, and a more relaxed lifestyle. Check out our Flamingo Collection for garden art, ceramics, salt & pepper shakers, home décor, and more! Garden Décor:
What better way to bring a splash of color and motion to your garden than with a bright flag or pinwheel? Check out our Garden Décor Collection for beautiful outdoor pieces to add a touch of art to your landscape. Jukebox & Pinball Merchandise:
The look of the Wurlitzer 1015, or “Bubbler”, jukebox is the most easily recognized jukebox design in history, and even a suggestion of its curving light tubes and shiny grill call to mind memories of dropping in a nickel to hear our favorite tune. Check out our Jukebox & Pinball Collection for figurines, advertising signs, ceramics, and a selection of old parts. If there’s something in particular you’re looking for, be sure to email me, as not all of my inventory of parts and manuals is listed. Wizard of Oz:
Dorothy Gale had us hooked from the first step she took down the Yellow Brick Road, and the classic story of a young farm girl just trying to get back home has become a beloved classic. The Wizard of Oz has a great cast of characters, an iconic setting, and some of the most quoted lines in film history. Check out our Wizard of Oz Collection to see figurines, signs, ceramics, dolls, and other collectibles from this amazing film! These are by no means all of the categories we have to offer. See our ebay store for a full list of what we are currently offering. Also, feel free to contact us with any questions, as we have some items that we don’t list or haven’t gotten to yet.
