I bought this American key fob for my old UK vintage toy fair stall. An interesting item was my logic.
I got the keyfob on eBay about twenty years back from a seller in LA.
It was listed as a Forrest J. Ackerman key fob on account of the 4E repeated on it, one of 'Forry's many nicknames. 4E = For-ry.
I've never seen another one associated with Forry, so I have my doubts now I've dug it out again.
Maybe 4E was a LA firm after all?
Anyone any clue?
A quick Google search does indicate that the key fob and the phrase were indeed associated with who you say. Can't find a picture of a genuine one though.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you look Kev?
DeleteI just entered the phrase and key fob into Google, quite a few sites turned up.
DeleteTa.
DeleteAh, Forry Ackerman of Famous Monsters Magazine! I met him back in 1986 when I visited the US for the World Science Fiction Convention.
ReplyDeleteForry look me, my partner and our best friend out to lunch at Sizzler, in his bright orange Cadillac Eldorado, which had custom SCI-FI number plates.
Then back to the Ackermansion for a tour of his fabulous collection!
How incredible Looey! You got to spend time with Forry! And see the Ackermansion! I'm green with envy!
DeleteSuch a shame his collection was broken up. It should have been bought whole or become a museum.
