Vintage 1960s-70s Groovy Yellow Smiley Face Black Metal Waste Basket Trash Can Vintage 1960s-70s Groovy yellow Smiley Face oval black metal waste basket / trash can. The iconic modern Smiley Face was invented in 1963 by commercial artist Harvey Ball. History has it that he designed it in just 10 minutes for an insurance company to boost employee morale. In 1999, Ball established "World Smile Day", celebrated on the first Friday of October, to promote kindness. You can't help but smile along once you see the cheerful Smiley Face art on both sides of this fun wastebasket! Add a splash of 1970s cool to an otherwise dull necessity and help promote kindness everyday in your own way! The wastebasket exterior is in good vintage condition with wear to the finish from age and normal usage. There are some dents and scratches to the can, but it is still a very cool piece! Please see pictures for examples. Stamped into the metal is J. L. Clark Rockford, Illinois USA. It measures approximately 11"L x 7"W x 13"H Thank you for visiting my virtual shop!
