Item Description
Pair of original art prototypes for late 1950s premium proposal that turned into Nabisco's Tobor Robot premium. 6-3/8x12-3/8" artboard w/mixed media original art prototype for shelf talker sign features image of the "Man From Mars" w/hand-lettered text noting "Self-Propelled" (though most of the paint for this text has flaked off) and "One Inside Every Package Wheaties."
