The Lord of the Rings Towels (Tolkien Enterprises/Cannon Mills, 1978)

By the same company that made the comforter. The second towel looks pretty faded. Possibly the inspiration for the 1982 AD&D Beach Towels?

Wow. I live in Kannapolis, the erstwhile home of Cannon Mills. The mill closed, and a scientific research campus (where my wife works) now stands in the mill’s place. I’m sure a lot of the researchers would be intrigued to know that these nerdy towels got made at the same place where they’re doing experiments, and reading fantasy on their lunch breaks.

  That’s brilliant. Cannon Mills was quite the institution, as I understand it. I wonder what other licenses they had…
