VINTAGE Kraft Joystick Plastic BOTTLE CAN Tab OPENER Advertising Promo Item RARE Original Owner Collectible Enthusiast Geek Nerd Techie Gamer
Back in the day ... mid 1980s thru early 2000s, I worked in the educational/consumer technology world. As someone in the marketing/purchasing/training field, I attended many industry events, trade shows, conferences and publisher headquarter offices. As a result I had access to many items which may or may not have ever made it out to the general public. I'm doing some downsizing and am coming across a variety of items from those days and am ready to move them on to someone who perhaps is a collector or just tech/product/brand enthusiast in general. Ah the trip down memory lane some of these items bring me.
You're looking at a PROMOTIONAL BOTTLE CAP/CAN TAB OPENER
Designed for Kraft ... who was pretty much the big name in computer joysticks back in the day.
It's made of a hard plastic and honestly I'm not sure how efficient it actually is in opening bottles or cans but hey, that's the beauty in promotional items, right? It's all about the product they advertise and not necessarily the promotional item.
In any case, this listing is for one item. At the time of this listing, I have them available in either BLUE or GREEN. You choose your desired color in the drop down menu. Once a color sells out, it (obviously) will not show availability.
According to my measurements, the item is approximately 2 1/4" across and just under 1 1/2" tall. NOTE: The ruler in the photos is not included with purchase. It's there to show some size perspective.
There is a hole at one end where you can I guess put it on a key chain or key ring or hang it from I guess the side of a bar or wall or refrigerator.
Each item is BRAND NEW ... just having resided in the back of one of my desk drawers for the last several decades.
The printing on top of the item reads "Feel the difference! Kraft Joysticks" and then has a phone number for the company.
Fun addition for your vintage technology hardware or software collection.
NOTE: As per ebay guidelines, all items I sell go out with shipping tracking regardless of how big or small, heavy or lightweight. That price is included/reflected in the shipping/handling price. This is done for both your and my safety and peace of mind.
We are a SMOKE-FREE and PET-FREE household & all clothing is washed in allergen-free detergent. I continue to list additional items when I find the time.
Before listing an item, I carefully check it over & to the best of my ability, try to describe it as accurately as possible.
