Wearable Jonny Quest Items

Jonny Quest Fossil Watch

The image on the left is from the Van Eaton Galleries internet site. They were asking (at the time) $US 95 for the item; items like have since appeared rather frequently on auction sites like eBay, typically selling for $US 40-45. The image on the right is from the collection of Dan Johnson. Click on image to see a larger image of the watch inside its collector case which looked like a TV entertainment center. This watch was a limited production item; only 2500 were made.

Another Jonny Quest Watch

The image above is from the collection of Dan Johnson, and shows another Classic Jonny Quest watch. Likely, it is a rather recent product, since Jonny Quest has only been known as "classic" since the mid-1980's.

Jonny Quest decoder ring from P.F. Flyers (B.F. Goodrich)

In 1964-65, during Jonny's initial prime-time run, P.F. Flyers ran a promotion that included a TV commercial featuring our hero rescuing Race Bannon from the side of an erupting volcano, with the help of their trusty magic decoder rings (and their P.F. Flyer shoes, of course). All you had to do to get your own ring was buy the shoes, and send for the ring! Pretty cool stuff! Even though the ads said "just like Jonny Quest uses on his TV show" this was a pure marketing ploy, as the ring never was seen on an actual episode. Of course, that didn't stop kids (including myself) from pestering our parents endlessly until we got the ring (oh, yeah, and a new pair of nice white sneakers, too). I do remember getting the ring (you had to send away for it) and using the letter wheels to write secret messages (mostly to myself; I don't think any of my friends had one). The top opened up to reveal a secret compartment.

And here is a storyboard of concept art for the commercial!
