Item Description
9.25x13.5x1.25" deep box. ©1939 Celeste Kempener. Made by Whitman. Box top slightly concave. Trace of surface dust. Does not affect bright, colorful graphics on lid. Box Fine. Box contains 12" tall cut-out paper dolls on stiff paper named "Imma Trylon/Perry Sphere" on backs. Dolls are on stiff paper. Cut out clothes are on thinner paper. A similar stylized Trylon and Perisphere design creates a dog and cat identified on backs as "Mr. Pup/Miss Pussy." All pieces including characters/fair scenes, paper costumes-clothing have all been very neatly cut. Many variations of the Trylon and Perisphere appear on the wide variety of clothing. Clothing includes patriotic and colonial themes. One is an Uncle Sam outfit, another has the Statue of Liberty crown as a hat. One accessory is identified as "Key To The New York World's Fair." Dolls, clothing, accessories appear free of creases or tears. Contents VF/Exc. A spectacular concept and design. First we've seen in our 42 years.
