KISS: Officially Licensed 'Lost Toy' Surfaces After 32 Years!

November 20, 2008

It's not every day that a never-before-seen officially-licensed KISS item from the 1970s surfaces. However, an eBay auction (which is slated to end this Sunday, November 23) can certainly lay such a claim. A KISS "lost toy" from the 1976-77 "Rock And Roll Over Tour" has surfaced in the form of a gold-plated, metal key chain in the shape of the band's infamous lightning bolt logo (see photo below).

This "lost toy" was apparently only offered for sale at a few of the shows on the tour and was quickly forgotten by the KISS Army — who (at the time) might not have been able to afford such a high-end item. The metal key chain bears the band's official merchandise marking "Copyright 1976 Aucoin by agreement with 'KISS.'"

This virtual prototype item is only one of 2,000 items to be offered by former "KISS Alive Forever" co-author Curt Gooch. Other high-end items to be included in the auction: a Paul Stanley smashed stage guitar, an original KISS-Hotel Diplomat concert poster from 1973, and even a Gene Simmons blood cup plus several 1970s signed KISS items.
