I had it for several years, but I'm afraid I did not keep it for the long-term. However, it served its purpose. I believe I (or my parents) may have ordered the Pogomobile through a bookstore It used to be listed by Simon & Schuster among other Walt Kelly works in the Pogo books. Back then, I think many of these books, as well as the Pogomobile, went through one or two printings, and then lingered in the warehouse for years, even decades, before they finally sold out. Some Pogo books I ordered in the late 1960's were technically new, as they were being sold for the first time, but somewhat yellowed.<br />Jim Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992575111576750824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-47184706879302097712016-10-15T05:48:05.089-06:002016-10-15T05:48:05.089-06:00News!

I've been a proud Kelly fan since 1971, but I only discovered your blogs yesterday and have now spent much of the weekend reading and downloading Kelly items. Still have a ways to go, but I had to stop and thank you for all the work you've put into honoring this great talent.

This is the first I've ever seen it, and I thought I never would. Last year I saw a listing for a copy on Amazon, at a price over $300. I suppose most buyers cut out the parts and hung it up.<br /><br />Is there more of this?
