While I was on my recent hiatus, I reposted about
LaGardo Tackett. His
Egghead designs always generate interest, so I promised to devote a separate post to them.
These humorous containers entered the market in 1958. They were produced by Schmid International in 8" and 12" sizes and were distributed by Richard Morgenthau of Raymor.
Eggheads were originally sold through ads in the back of
Playboy and
Esquire magazines. Although ads said they could be used to hold pretzels or mad money, they were generally used bedside as condom holders...or as stash holders.
