Item Description
Lot of three items. The "Fun Book" is 5x7" w/16 pages. Copyright 1965 The Pillsbury Co. Book is a combination of full color puzzle pages plus bw pictures to be colored and center spread is a game board. This is a NM copy without mailing imprint on reverse. The two full color contest papers are each 11x14" w/expiration dates of 1965. Each one details a different contest and includes illustrations of the rare premium prizes that were a drink stand for one contest and a Goofy Grape wristwatch for the other. Each has designated areas where Funny Face characters were to be cut from drink packs and pasted on the sheets. Each has original horizontal fold at center. Both sheets are Exc. This lot shows the interesting progression of the dropping of the Chinese Cherry and Injun Orange names. The drink stand contest paper still uses the ethnic names, the second contest sheet just calls them "Cherry" and "Orange" but the premium book features their new names "Choo Choo Cherry" and "Jolly Ollie Orange". From the archives of premium creators Sam & Gordon Gold, accompanied by a letter to the effect from Gordon Gold.
