Junior Reeder: Special Guide 70th Anniversary Thumbuddy

Junior is the younger brother of Thumbuddy Ima Reeder. When they got copies of the first Junior Guide, as it was called in 1953, they thought the magazine was "peachy keen"!

Mild Bill Hickok

A descendant of the Old West's famous Wild Bill Hickok, Mild Bill is more the happy hippie type.

Big Mean Eugene

So far, this huge bully has yet to outgrow his meanness. Maybe that's because he hasn't met Jesus.

Ima Reeder: Special Guide 70th Anniversary Thumbuddy

A 1950s Adventist junior fashionista, Ima was one of the first to receive the brand-new Junior Guide on October 7, 1953!

Harry Beardsley

This fuzzy fellow thinks his hair-raising efforts make him irresistibly attractive. Needless to say, not everyone agrees!

General George Washingday

This faltherly historic figure refuses to be seen in a soiled uniform, so he cleans up his act once every week. Collectibility: super rare.
