Wowee, gang! We turned up a cache of ORIGINAL Axel postcards, printed by the Hiawatha Color Advertising Company in 1964. The photo on the front shows Axel in the full regalia of his latter-day costume. He's pointing to the medals on his chest, most of which were handmade by his young fans.

These are guaranteed genuine original 1964 postcards, NOT reproductions, and are in near mint condition. If you order only postcards, please include $1 per 5 postcards for shipping (instead of the $4 shipping charge).

This 26-minute video was produced by WCCO-TV in 1976. The program features the reminiscences of Don Stolz (Towser & Tallulah), Mary Davies (Carmen the Nurse), and Harry Jones (director), as well as many classic Axel clips. The video is derived from the original master, so the picture quality is excellent.

This one-hour videotape contains Carmen and Clancy & Willie from July 1, 1974 (the 25th Anniversary of WCCO-TV), and both shows feature Don Stolz as a guest. An Axel show from 1955 is included, as well as the pilot episode of John Gallos' first kids' show, plus a lot of other fun stuff. The video also contains the very last broadcasts of both programs from March 26, 1977. Picture quality is good.
