Uncle Kunkel’s Famous Klunkers

At some point, we’ll return to this page with something of a backstory. For now, we’ll simply share these photos and say that Klunkers were one of Wally’s “big ideas” — as a sort of novelty or plaything. We’re certain there’s much more story to tell around this, but there’s only so many hours in the day so we’ll save writing that for a rainy one.

We just find the whole concept too charming to not at least mention it somewhere on the site here. Plenty of people in the Kunkel family, and likely plenty outside of it, still have these randomly sitting somewhere in their home. We sure found a case or two… how else would we have these photos? :) Turns out Klunkers lay just fine on a flatbed scanner.
