Here is a very unusual item from Japan. It's a handkerchief that I'm told says "Godzilla & All Monsters," and the art is pretty amazing, and also quite striking.
I can't tell you very much about it. The manufacturer's sticker looks like it says "PTEP" in stylized letters, but there is no date.
Godzilla himself looks a little GODZILLA 1985-ish to me in design. Another clue is in the spelling of "Angilas," which is my own personal preference:
I want to say that Toho re-jiggered their official name list in the early-to-mid 1990's, and made his name officially "Anguirus," which makes me assume the piece dates before that.
Otherwise, my official guess is that it's pre-Hesei series, or at least pre-1990s, but it's only that: a guess. So let's enjoy the art!
As cool as it would be to carry something like this around, I'd never use it (if I carried handkerchiefs, that is). I would feel like I was carrying around a canvas of valuable artwork in my pocket, and it was getting all frayed and crumpled. This is certainly more frame-worthy than....pocket-worthy.
