Does anyone else collect Chilean Soda advertising items? The ones I collect are the earlier ones, featuring Uncle Natchel, an elderly Black man. There are lots of different items. Calenders from the 30's, til about 1960. Notepads, signs, pencils, also.

My grandmother was hired to write a syndicated radio series, UNCLE NATCHEL, sponsored by Chilean Nitrate, in the late '30s and ending in 1942. It amazes me that no 16" radio transcriptions of the series have ever turned up in the possession of old-time radio devotees. Frank Wilson, a noted African-American radio actor, portrayed Uncle Natchel. The shows were recorded on disc in New York, through NBC's facilities, and were syndicated throughout the South. The programs were essentially historical fiction, as Uncle Natchel would tell the youngsters stories about legendary American figures and events. It would be wonderful to hear one of those programs today. I wonder whether any of today's Uncle Natchel memorabilia collectors are aware of the radio series?

Yes, Destin, I agree, that is one of the best books of all time.I guess I have read that book at least a dozen times. The reference to Uncle Natchel is in the book, but they left it out of the movie. The movie is great, too..

Wow, Interesting !!! I do have a postcard, advertising the "Uncle Natchel and Sonny" Radio Show.. IIRC, it was on Saturday nights. The card gave the stations and time of the show. I have wondered if any copies existed of the shows. The Chilean Soda folks were really into advertising, for the time.. The artwork on the calendars was by Hy Hintermeister, a commercial artist. The Calendars are expensive to buy, because there are lots of collectors that collect anything by Hintermeister, and I have to compete with them.. There is/was an original Hintermeister painting of one of the calendar pictures for sale at a gallery in PA. I would love to have it, but it is a little too pricey for me. Thanks again for the info on the Radio Show.
