Stranger things

If anyone would like to help this thread and doesn't know how... I've gathered some props needing identification with some people and created a doc with a few leads to help identify them. I've added only one, but if succeed, I'll include three remaining

Not found the actual prop, but I had fun doing it:
20240616_091602.jpg 20240616_091614.jpg 20240616_091630.jpg 20240616_091639.jpg 20240616_091647.jpg 20240616_091652.jpg 20240616_091700.jpg 20240616_091705.jpg 20240616_091706.jpg 20240616_091708.jpg 20240616_091710.jpg

The front image was enhanced with Topaz Photo AI, while the writing was redrawn and I also added the SPORT title to the newspaper. The rest of the card was made up with existing elements found on the internet. I found the inside text on WorthPoint while searching for the card, but there was no other images besides the text and a signature; also, the size was wrong (link of proof here ==> RARE VINTAGE AUTOGRAPH HOF JOHNNY BENCH "FORGOT YOUR BIRTHDAY" CARD SIGNED | #1973254829). I added the Hi Brows logo and the copyright text to the inside just because that logo looks cool.

The card should print at 240 x 210 mm when open.
 
I'm slowly working on the screencaps I have made from all 4 seasons, and this time I did Max's Creeps note from Season 2:
Image49.png Max's Creep Note.png

Initially I did the writing using the Artistic Media tool, but because the marker lines look like made with chalk (mostly due to an almost dried up marker), I ended up drawing it by hand. The page is a standard LTR (216 x 280 mm) and looks to be folded 3 times before it was crumpled and tossed into the thrash can:

Some props (partial found or remade) from Season 1, more exactly at the inside entrance to the Public Library:

The poem is an actual poem by Charles Swindoll, and while you can find many variants of this page (even different text) I haven't found the exact page, which might have been torn from a book, so I recreated it:
Attitude by Charles Swindoll.png

The size is around 300 x 250 mm.

The Books are arranged diagram is actually a small piece from a larger poster:
6197933357_2ce2079058_k.jpg Books Arranged.png

The cut down piece should print at 184 x 156 mm.

I haven't found the newspaper clip but the title reads: LETTERS - Citizen poll response can be wave of future (or something similar). This might be custom made, but who knows...

The Indian Scout drawing (looks to be an Apache warrior, maybe Winnetou?) page looks to be from an art book (possibly a How to draw, Learn to draw or the likes...) I had no luck finding it, so I tried my best to clean up the page and redo the title:

The page is around 380 x 300 mm.

Great work as usual RafalFett

I've got some shares coming later today: Will's Zombie Boy Drawing and the Hawkins Lab Grid Tunnel Map.

I've got some more time off work this week and I'm going to finally do a full dive back into both Bob's and Dustin's maps. I've been waiting for an opportunity where I can just sit down and dedicate some serious non-stop time to it.
 
Here's some new shares!

Not perfect, but I'm happy with it for my display. :)

Hawkins Lab Grid Tunnel Map (from Season 2) 8.5" x 11" [UPDATED]
UnusualWizardry_ST2 - Hawkins Lab Tunnel Map v2.jpg
I printed the grid on some newsprint paper to better match the color and more thin look to the paper and then hand-drew the rest to match the original. [Thanks to RafalFett for pointing out a small section I missed. I've updated my original and rescanned]

A little bonus, that I just finished!

Thanks for the awesome share! I had that tunnel drawing on my to do list and maybe I will tackle it in the future, but your work is outstanding. Here are 2 screen caps in one that shows a missing/unfinished section:

Oh, the burnt phone! Is this the 1st or the 2nd one?
I saw some of your and others props collection and I'm really impressed by the research and commitment to find all those period props.

First one. I do have the second one too though. Actually got the screen-used box for it too, so that’s exciting!

Ah shoot. I missed that. I’ll update my original tonight and repost.

Here's Nancy's HH name tag and a blank one:
Image192.png HH Name Tag Nancy.png HH Name Tag Blank.png

I made these 90 x 60 mm in size and should be printed on self adhesive paper or vinyl.

Also did El's sleeping over note:
Image170.png El's Sleeping Over Note.png

Made this to fit a standard LTR (216 x 280 mm), but the final size will be 216 x 161 mm.

Found the image in BW; the description says that it is from an antique children's book (link here ==> Tree frame):
istockphoto-925664636-2048x2048.jpg

It might have been colorized by the production team. The font used is ITC Souvenir Demi Italic.
I'm already working on the poster, but due to the copyright/watermark I won't share it for obvious reasons (maybe if someone will buy that image, than we can share it publicly).

Here's the teaser:
In This Room Poster.WIP.png
 
Score! Nice find RafalFett! I knew it had to be pre-existing because of the artist name in the corner, but even after removing the text on the poster I could not seem to get any hits with Google Lens.

I agree. I'd guess they bought that image and then colorized it.
