TRASH CAN
1977, P&K PRODUCTS
This 19 x 11-inch metal trash can is a must-have KISS collectible. Hard to find without some rusting. Most were used as actual bins and probably had water, soda or beer spilled in them from back in the day. Notable for the reversed Love Gun-era photo on the rear making Paul’s star on the wrong eye - a trend that started with the 3-inch buttons and one that the Aussies would later repeat in the early ‘80s. P&K also made trash cans for the NFL teams, Peanuts, Saturday Night Fever, Bee Gees, Peter Frampton and Elvis (in fact proof sheets printed on metal have shown KISS on one side with The King on the reverse). This was sold through Spencer’s Gifts stores and other outlets.
