Title: Spinner Racks and Other Cool Vintage Comic DIsplay Units
Post by: Geo (RIP) on July 24, 2013, 11:12:35 PM

I got this from the Timely/Atlas board I'm hook up with. It's a link to a interesting site with more then just the spinner racks which there are many styles. Please enjoy.

Having a personalised spinner rack would be awesome.

Perhaps one with a Delek head for a top?

Used to have a spinner rack in my room when I was a kid.  Left it behind when we moved...

Had to leave a LOT of stuff behind when we moved.  Including a big upright piano possibly from the late 19th Century (at least copyright back then) and a lotta other stuff.

I got a more modern spinner rack when a local book store went out of business

Notice how the Dell books were larger and did not quite fit. Nobody cared about mint condition back then.

That's why I want the Dell spinner rack, if I can ever find one.

I have two "comics" spinner racks (with the picture of superman, spiderman, archie, and richie rich). One is a 4 sided rack, and the other one is 5 sided. I use one and I let the kids use one.  Mine is loaded with TPB's now, and the kids' is loaded with golden little books.

Always on the lookout for the dell one - I'd sell either one of mine for that.

I've had a real spinner rack on my want list for years.  I know one antique shop that has a couple, but they won't sell them- they have comics in them!  I do have a (fairly recent vintage) flat wire rack with 20 slots, but right now it's in storage.

I wonder how hard it would be to MAKE  a spinner rack?
After all it is just bent wire.
I will bet some DCM member is pretty handy.
