Magnets... Always With The Magnets

We've been repping the vehicle shaped promo magnets for over a decade here at the Junk Store, as the above picture of the old register from the Junk Pirate archives confirms. Be it van, sports car, box truck (Webvan!), tow truck, or big rig, we love a good vehicle shaped magnet. No better way to promote your mobile business.

Which brings us to a lovely piece of Junk Pirate Fine Art... 33 Vehicle Shaped Magnets from 2010!

Drug Magnetism

Zithromax... Redux... Medipren... Galan... Lodine... Ortho Tri-Cyclen... and my current favorite, K-Dur 20.

We love magnets, we love pharmaceuticals, we love promotional items. Ta-daa.

Vehicle Magnets

When I say "vehicle magnets", I'm not talking about those ribbon shaped magnets for your car in support of this or that (although we are collecting those on the Junk Store truck). I'm speaking of the great collection of refrigerator magnets shaped like vehicles. Vans mostly.

It all started back at the old Register B...

Currently, the collection, when not in hiding from the wrath of Sausage Fingers, is housed on the wall in the Sorting Room Play Closet, adjacent to the State Magnets. We'll also include magnets shaped like airplanes, helicopters, teeth, and pharmacy mortar-and-pestles.

Manifest Destiny (in magnet form)

We've got another collection on our hands.

Ever so slowly we are trying to accumulate and complete collection of all 50 state magnets. To up the ante a little bit, we are only including magnets that are shaped like the state itself (unless it is somehow really cool, then we'll include it. However, only state-shaped magnets will represent the actual state). USA! USA!

Heck, we'll even include some Canada, Mexico, or even Europe if they get donated.

Since Washington D.C. is technically not a state, we'll have to settle for this US Capitol shaped magnet. 

Connecticut and Illinois both currently have two representatives. 

I'm not too happy with Montana's magnet, but it will have to do for the moment. We're also having trouble getting all these magnets to fit together in the shape of the continental US since the magnets aren't really standardized in scale. That and I really have no idea which state goes where other than the the three on the West Coast.
