Item Description
Box lid lists the maker as "Universal Toy & Novelty Mfg. Co. New York No. 810."

Text includes "Universal Oswald The Lucky Rabbit Of The Movies Stencil Set/See Oswald In Universal Pictures." Box has stenciled image and some writing on inside of lid. Lid has lt. edge wear but remains clean with deep, rich color. Tight, VF. The six stencils are pictured and titled on the stiff paper instruction sheet, each beginning w/word “Oswald” and then followed by these titles: “Painting The Town, The Jazz Singer, The Sheik, Playing Bandit, Marathon Runner, The Athlete.” Lt. wear, VF. Complete set of six stencils are 4.5x5.5” on thin cardboard. Scattered wear with some penciling/crayon marks from use. One has a few tears to die-cut image, VG. Rest are Fine.
