Item Description
8.25x8.5" thick cardboard display card with attached book and box of crayons is Whitman set No. 3059, ©1936. Top of display features image of Mickey resting against a large crayon and staring at a picture he has drawn of Minnie. Bottom margin of card features "Color Blending Guide." Attached at center is 4x5.25" softcover book with "160 Pages Of Mickey Mouse Pictures To Color." The bw pages feature illustrations based on several early Mickey shorts including the "Moose Hunt" and the "Mail Pilot." Attached next to the book is box which holds complete amount of six crayons which remain unused. Display has minute trace of edge wear w/tiny corner bump at lower right. Pages lightly aged but book remains totally bright and clean. Entire set is NM overall, of file-copy quality and by far the nicest example we have ever seen. This set is very rare with only about five known examples. We have only offered two others in our 45 years, both in much lesser condition, and both sold in excess of $2,000. Based on rarity, condition and design, a must have for any serious collector of Disneyana and/or BLB's.
