Item Description
10x14-7/8" cardboard standee features image of box of "Ogilvie Minute Oats" w/small image of Superman on it. Same (but much larger) image of Superman stands behind box. Instead of iconic "S" symbol on chest, the "Superman" comic book title logo appears (same on box image). Standee was for store use to promote Canadian Ogilvie Cereal Co./The Ogilvie Flour Mills Co., Limited product. c. 1940. Top left has "Listen On Mondays - Wednesdays - Fridays - See Your Newspaper For Time Of Broadcast - 28 Canadian Stations" text, promoting the "Superman" radio show w/image of radio microphone. Ogilvie issued rare premiums that included a brass badge and a decal sheet (see item #2114). Thin cardboard has been professionally mounted to stiff cardboard and has had some small scattered color touch-ups that blend perfectly. Standee has slight aging but retains a bright and clean appearance w/bold color. Technically Fine but displays Exc. as restored. Very rare, w/only a few known examples. Franco Toscanini Collection.
