March 28, 2009
"The Nauga is ugly, but his vinyl hide is beautiful" - Ad from LIFE magazine - 1967 (Image: http://www.georgelois.com)
These amazing Naugahyde stuffed toys were made in the 1960’s & 1970’s to promote the hottest new trend in upholstery. These fun little monsters have a cult following and have become very collectible.

[…] Re: Kustom Charcoal 100 Tuck & Roll They are kind of like a PA amp. My bass player has one. He gets a good sound out of that and an English Muff'n. Not sure if they are worth the price. They have some quality control issues. I've heard stories about the original owner having a coke problem or gambling problem. Can't remember. BTW, what the fuck are those monsters in that ad? I had a nagahide stuff toy just like one of those when I was little. Never knew where it came from. *edit. I guess I was too young, but here. http://theinvisibleagent.wordpress.c…monster-1960s/ […]
