I grew up in North Carolina, so it was only natural for me to watch “The Andy Griffith Show”, which is set in the tiny, friendly town of Mayberry, North Carolina. I have remained a fan of this show ever since my childhood days and still watch its syndicated episodes, faithfully..
Of course, I realize that there are a legion of other fans who also love this classic television show and who enjoy collecting memorabilia related to it.
I found some great collectible items at Giftopolis, which is, in my opinion, one of the best online stores for finding a variety of quality fan memorabilia at reasonable prices.
Listed are some show-related merchandise I really liked:
Tin Sign of Aunt Bee’s Kitchen
This 12.5″ x 16.5″ Tin Sign of Aunt Bee’s Kitchen pays fine tribute to the character of Aunt Bee, wonderfully played be actress Frances Bavier.
The lovable lady who helped add warmth and charm to the home of Andy and son is pictured, in colorful detail, standing over them in the kitchen America came to love.
I like this collectible, in particular, because it gives some credit to a female cast member of this show. Since there were female characters who were pivotal to the success of this program, I wish they had more collectible items related to them.
Cost: $12.95
