Planet of the Apes trashcan by Cheinco
So, I needed a trash can for my office, a kind of mundane task I guess but because my whole room is decked out in vintage stuff, I decided the can itself had to be vintage.
It took me a while, mostly because the ones I kept finding were Hockey (I do live in Canada) or stuff like “Strawberry Shortcake” that really don’t work for me.
I finally settled on Planet of the Apes because 1) I like Planet of the Apes and 2) I had this in my room as a kid after finding it at a yard sale.
So, lo and behold, my new garbage can, enjoy humans…
Awesome trash can, is the art from the 70's marvel comics?- Mark J
That is bad ASS!
I have The Six Million Dollar Man trash can, and it is awesome. Really well made, nice colors and has held up well with care. I would imagine many of these bit the dust because of rust. What a cool Ape graphic they have on there. I haven't seen this yet, very cool!
That moment when you realize "Star Wars" borrowed the connected-letters like the S in their title from "Planet Of The Apes". Monkey see, monkey do.
Love the way the artist felt the characters should be titled. This likely places the artwork fairly early in the franchise's time-line. Early Star Wars art did the same thing.
This Anon is loving your can (that sounds bad, doesn't it) for a far more basic reason. It's metal. When was the last time anyone saw a stamped-steel trash-can down in the Housewares section? Everything is plastic.
Best of all, it -looks- vintage. That can would fit with so many funky alternative / counter-culture decorating schemes. A woman I know does roller derby, loves the culture, and her condo is filled with crazy deliberately mis-matched vintage things like this.
She'd probably kill for that Farrah Fawecett-Majors belt buckle posted here a few days back.
Not only are you in jail, but your jail is also a TRASH CAN!
That sounds very embarrassing.
Have a Hot Wheels version made by the same company
