Item Description
This seldom-seen, imaginative premium is from 1958. 6" long hard plastic. One side has metal pocket clip, top end has raised circular image of Preston and Yukon King on the mouthpiece of a whistle with show name in initials below image. There is a generic version of this premium without the Preston/King image on the mouthpiece and even that version is Scarce. Other features include inset metal compass, sundial, interior top opening serves as secret compartment, bottom tip is pen point. Also serves as a flashlight and 100% complete with interior pieces including bulb, spring, battery, plastic pieces serving as battery cover and activator. Original mailing box has moderate scattered edge wear to the "Trail Kit" mailing label. Fine. Even comes with small paper reading "To Prevent Accidental Lighting Of Your Trail Kit In The Mail, The Battery Is Packed Upside-down. Reverse It To Operate." Scattered margin wear with some small tears but the only time we've seen this paper. The battery has some corrosion, however the premium itself remains choice, N. Mint condition. We have only offered this premium a few times in our 41 years and this is by far the best example we have ever seen.
