Mention that there’s a movie on starring “The Duke” and you have my husband’s immediate attention.
He’s not the only one inspired by the legendary John Wayne, well known for his roles in memorable film classics, especially war-related and western-themed motion pictures.
If you or someone you love is a John Wayne enthusiast, here are some collectibles you may be interested in.
Store: Giftapolis
The John Wayne Pinball Game
The John Wayne Pinball Game is 5.5″ x 10″ and can be played by both kids and grownups. All you have to do is employ the use of the plunger to shoot the steel balls to their destination.
This is a great nostalgic toy in memory of those good old days before computer games came on the scene.
Cost: $6.95
John Wayne Mug: Military Hat
This is a standard ceramic mug that depicts John Wayne, wearing a military hat in one of his many heroic action roles. It holds 12 ounces of your favorite hot beverage.
Cost: $9.95
John Wayne Tin Tote Small Lunchbox:”The Duke”
Some of you may be too young to remember when kids carried their lunches to school in tin lunchboxes that usually pictured our favorite movie or television stars.
The John Wayne Tin Tote Small Lunchbox recalls those days of yore and is a fabulous item to add to your John Wayne memorabilia. The 7.25″ x 3″ x 5-1/4″ charmer features the likeness of “The Duke” as one of his cowboy characters.
Cost: $11.95
John Wayne Pocket Watch
Pocket watches are old-fashioned and very elegant.
I love the case this John Wayne Pocket Watch comes in, because it opens up just like a book to reveal its precious contents, a classic pocket watch that has a light blue face with a likeness of John Wayne. It has a long chain, as well.
A wonderful collectible piece at a decent price.
Cost: $23.95
John Wayne Brushed Metal Wall Clock: American Legend
The Quartz John Wayne Brushed Metal Wall Clock has a beautiful copper finish as John Wayne’s gallant visage looks into the distance.
Cost: $31.95
John Wayne Fleece Throw In Collectible Tin
One of my favorite types of collectible merchandise is throws with a theme. In this case, the 48″ x 60″ JohnWayne Fleece Throw pictures our hero in a rugged pose from a John Ford western.
Cost:$39.95
John Wayne Cooke Jar Bust
This 12″ x 8.5″ x 11.75″ John Wayne Cooke Jar Bust is a “must have” for the ardent John Wayne memorabilia collector.. It bears the likeness of one of America’s best loved movie actors in another of his traditional cowboy roles.
I would probably put this aside rather than use it as a household item, as it’s a Limited Edition piece that you want to keep in mint condition, once you get it.
Cost: $69.95
Remembering a Hero
John Wayne was a man who stood larger-than-life to his myriad of fans. Today’s movie actors pale in comparison, so collectibles honoring his work on the screen serve to remind us that Hollywood just doesn’t make stars like this anymore.
