Woodstock, Unicorns, Musical Notes & The Lion Rampant & Double Eagle [Gryphon and Lion]

Woodstock [1980's]

Woodstock is a fictional character in Charles M. Schulz's comic strip Peanuts. He is Snoopy's closest friend and, after Snoopy, the most recognized non-human in the strip, a very rare example of this blotter classic that was in circulation throughout 1980's.

Blue Unicorns

The Blue Unicorn was a cafe on Hayes Street in San Francisco that brought the Beats to the Haight in the early 1960's and converted them to Hippies, circulated the USA in the early 80’s, but there are reports suggesting that they hung on well into the early 90’s.

Musical Notes

The Musical Notes blotter has been around for a long time and there have been quite a few different incarnations, the Musical Note blotter was said to have been one of Timothy Leary’s favourites. This example is probably an early 90’s incarnation, and came in three different colours, red, blue and , it shares similarity’s both in colour, paper and perforations to the 1992  Alien Girl - Liquid Sky blotter http://vintage-blotter-acid.blogspot.co.uk/p/lotter_2.html

The Lion Rampant & Double Eagle [Gryphon and Lion]

Another blotter that I can’t find much info on, Mark McCould has a lager example on his website: http://www.blotterbarn.com/gryphon.html he calls it the Gryphon and Lion, the full sheet contains a repeated pattern of Gryphon & Unicorn and Double headed Eagle & Loin, printed in blue on white.
