9.5x12.5" envelope has RKO Radio Pictures logo and "A Scene From The Mightiest Melodrama Of All Time! King Kong Jig Saw Puzzle - Over 150 Pieces - Beasts From The Dawn Of Time..Loosed In Our World Today!" text.

VG, but still displays nicely. Rare. Envelope contains 11.25x21.5" promotional puzzle made for the original 1933 RKO Radio Picture release. Die-cut puzzle features beautiful image of King Kong grasping Fay Wray while fighting off a leaping dinosaur. Bold "King Kong" title emblazoned across bottom of scene. 1" margin at bottom of puzzle has film's production information. Puzzle is complete but lower left corner piece shows some wear w/tiny piece of surface paper missing while two other pieces show tiny corner tip wear. Rest of pieces show some lt. scattered wear here and there and puzzle is VF overall. One of the all-time greatest King Kong items and one of just four we've offered in our 54 years. Even rarer to find complete w/envelope. Alan Weinberg Collection.
