4x22.5” thin cardboard die-cut headband likely issued as a premium from Canadian Esso gas stations in the 1950s. Neat design depicts large silver colored wings sprouting from “Esso Imperial Dealer Space Captain” square with blank provided for name. Each side of this square has “Space Captain” image depicting a helmeted spaceman. “Canada’s Greatest Gasolines!” text along bottom margin. Slots and tab for adjustment and wearing. Wings are die-cut and as such have some loose perforations. Lt. scattered handling wear but VF overall. Rare and first we’ve seen.
