The first pic is a printers plate with the coresponding page that it was used on. The second pic is membership cards, decals and badges. The third is pins and buttons. The two stick pins the pinback next to them are from Australia. The forth picture is Chum Charts. 1050 CHUM was THE radio station in Toronto in the late 50's and early 60's. They broadcast the Hi-Fi Club radio shows. Chum Charts were given out weekly at record stores. It was a list of the top 50 songs of the week.
I have 37 different ones. This is the last of my Hi-Fi collection so if anyone has anything I haven't posted please let me know.

Impressive collection. Were most of your items purchased in Canada? Because I haven't found a lot of Hi-Fi items. (And I recently sold my vest, which I wished I held onto it now. I would've donated to your collection.) I'll keep an eye out for other stuff. I think I may have an article (in a 50s Bottler magazine) about the Hi-Fi Club. If I find it, I'll scan it and email it to you. Would've loved to see your Hi-Fi Club seminar but looks like I'll be missing my first national convention since 1996.
Great items i have never seen soo many Hi Fi items
Thanks guys,
Only a few of these items were bought in Canada. The rest were found at conventions and on Ebay. Ray, I'd be interested in seeing that article if you find it. Sorry to hear you won't be at the convention. Was looking forward to meeting you. Maybe next year in Charlotte,NC.
