Thanks to the good lady wife - I now have this.

She saw a guy giving it to a salvage yard - asked for it, and the guy said she could have it.

She also got the card inserts made up for the top - which she had welded together again.

 

Not an old one, but does the job, and I'm very happy!

Admirable work! Definite keeper!

Came across this for sale...I have no idea if it’s old or new or a repro. It apparently came out of a general store. Figured the folks here could enlighten me!

UPDATE: Came out of a closed up store, along with a little golden books display rack/shelf advertising the little golden books for sale at 15 cents...so maybe this is from around the 60's/70's?

Very cool! I've never seen this before! I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for one now for my collection.

I finally got a spinner rack! I have a fold out one and a classics illustrated one in the shop but picked this one up today. I think it’s awesome. I’m not sure if the base is original but I think it is. Need to clean it but it’s in pretty good condition. The guy I got it from said he had it since he was ten years old. When we went to look at his collection he didn’t want to sell it at first but glad he did! I think it’s a circa 1960’s rack since silver age books fit in it. Any info would be appreciated.

Picked this up. Missing the spinner though. But couldn’t not get it. Not sure if original spinner is more desired or easy to find….

You could probably have a base made. I’d think it would be much better.  It was originally designed as a spinner rack.

Have shared mine before but been a while,  fun to share again!

Updated some of the books in my spinner rack today. A few are double stacked. Many of these are popular small keys. Some of the ?why? books are either signed, I have original art from or hold a special place in my collection. 47 total books in a 40 slot spinner. I have had this spinner about 4 years. Secret Wars 3 was the first comic I bought and it was off a spinner rack at a 7-11

Here's my spinner rack.

Not vintage it's the new ones you can buy thru diamond.

I collect May 72 books for this spinner rack and they are all raw and sitting in there like it's 1972.

I also have duplicates in there as well to give it that authentic look as best I can.

Those are greeting card racks. I had two of them in my shop in the mid-1980s.  Great for displaying books.

I have a vintage spinner rack that I purchased from a guy whose father owned a drug store in Philadelphia in the 60's.  It's rusty, not in the best shape, but it's authentic.

I've also collected 5 of these vintage plastic DC Bullet spinner rack clips.  It's hard to find them unbroken.  But they're beautiful.

I've got some spinner related oddball items from the 90's, like a set of unused monthly inserts for the Marvel "Tower of Power" retailer promotion. Basically, Marvel sent participating shops an enormous cardboard spinner rack (some assembly required) to display certain Marvel books. It was designed so that the art decorating the rack could be switched out from month to month, so as to highlight new titles. I'm not sure how long the program went on, but I think only a few months. I don't have the actual Tower (I wonder if any remain), but I did get a large shipping flat from a shuttering comic store about 10 years ago that was labeled as and indeed held a set of the monthly inserts, which are full color on punch-out tagboard stock. I will add pictures to this post as soon as I can of this unusual ephemera.

I also have something that probably shouldn't even exist anymore, just because why save it?

It's a large spinner rack topper for (late 80's, early 90's) Comic Images Marvel T-Shirts. Unfortunately, there was no character art on it, limiting its eye appeal greatly, but it must be one of the very last of these to exist, and one of a limited number in the first place, for whatever that's worth. (Will also add a picture of this for "fun".) The actual Marvel T-Shirts it advertised/held, on the other hand, are highly collectible, even used. Check your closets. Heck, check the label of the one you're wearing!

Does Diamond still sell theres?  I just can't spend >$1000 on one but want at least something that could "pass" as one.

Crazy the price it takes to get a spinner rack. I’m pretty sure diamonds don’t do them anymore and I can’t believe no one’s started making new ones again, got to be a good amount of demand out there.

I don’t hold out much hope finding one of these in the Uk, might have to settle with a card rack or something that gets relatively close to the dimensions.
