Item Description
First is 2-9/16" with metal back and bar pin plus copyright on the curl "©1966 United Features Syndicate Inc." This was issued around the 1968 presidential campaign and reads "Snoopy For President." There are some tiny tan age dots mostly to the right of his body but with a few barely showing much closer to the top and bottom edges. Piece still displays glossy and VF. Scarce. Next is a 2.5" flasher with full color scenes the first showing Charlie Brown in baseball uniform throwing a pitch from the mound and when the button is tilted the second scene shows him upside down in the air wearing only underpants as his clothing, shoes and baseball glove all fly around him as a speeding baseball knocks him off the mound. The plastic flasher has a hairline crack at the center on a diagonal about .75" and on a horizontal line about 1" but actually showing very little. In addition a little white paint is off the thin metal edge and this extends to the reverse thin outer edge which is printed with an image of Snoopy wearing sunglasses standing upon a movie director's chair with his name printed across the canvas back. Titled at top "Movees By Aviva" and with the Schulz signature beneath the illustration and above additional text reading "Vari-Vue/Snoopy ©United Features Syndicate 1971." While the full color image displays Fine, the condition overall is about VG, although from a quite rare series and this is the first example we can recall offering.
