As the subject says, these are some pretty unique salvage items, claimed to be from an old amusement ride. Check them out:

Anyone have any information about them or any idea what they are from or who made them? They are very interesting pieces.

They came from the set of Scooby-Doo verus the oooie-gooie monster man. That took place in an old abandoned amusement park. If you look at the third one down on the list you can see some dry sloober from Scooby.

My guess is that those are not ride parts. Someone is trying to jackpot the sale with a few key words. Besides, you don't get an idea of how big they are and frankly, they are too scarey for kids to be on a midway.

I suspected as much, a bit to scary and bizarre for the average carnival ride. Maybe a real scary funhouse, but I doubt it. The right and correct history of these pieces would make them more valuable than a few key words will. I'm sure they have an interesting story, if it was known. Too bad that we probably never will know.....

Pinetar - I just reread the descriptions, and size-wise, they range from about 8 inches by 8 inches to 12 inches by 12 inches (approximately).
