TITLE OF THIS AUCTION:
1939 Vintage Walt Disney TRAVEL TYKES WEEKLY Comic Paper Standard Gas/Oil # 17
DESCRIPTION:
THIS IS A LITTLE TRAVEL NEWSPAPER FOR KIDS GIVEN OUT AT STANDARD OIL GAS STATIONS. IT WAS ISSUED ON A REGULAR BASIS AND IN A SERIES. THERE WERE AT LEAST 20 ISSUED IN THE SERIES, SEE THE AD TITLE TO SEE WHICH ISSUE THIS IS. AFTER READING THE FEATURES - MOSTLY ARTICLES ABOUT TRAVELLING, ON THE BACK THERE WERE 2 CUT OUT STAMPS THAT YOU WOULD PASTE ONTO A MAP OF THE "GOOD 'OLE USA" WHICH YOU WOULD SEND AWAY FOR. THE GOAL WAS TO COLLECT ALL THE STAMPS AND FILL YOUR MAP. ALL OF THE TRAVEL TYKES NEWS THAT I HAVE CONTAIN THE STAMPS AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CUT OUT. THESE ARE ALL AUTHENTIC ITEMS. FIGURE THEY WERE MEANT TO BE ENJOYED AND DISCARDED (AFTER CUTTING OUT THE STAMPS, OF COURSE) AND WERE PRINTED ON LESSOR NEWSPAPER STOCK. STILL THESE SURVIVED. THEY HAVE AUTHENTIC PATINA WITH YELLOWING AND SOME CHIPS ON THE OUTSIDE, ETC. THIS AD DESCRIPTION IS REUSED, SO IT IS BEST TO SEE THE CLOSE UPS OF THE INDIVIDUAL ISSUES FOR DETAILS. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU PURHCASE. THESE ARE SOLD AS IS.
THE DEPRESSSION WAS HARDLY OVER BUT RECOVERY WAS HAPPENING AND AMERICANS WERE GETTING ON THE ROAD. THE USA WAS GETTING SMALLER AS WE BECAME MORE FAMILIAR WITH TRAVELLING. OF COURSE THIS REQUIRED GASOLINE AND OIL. HOW SMART FOR STANDARD OIL TO RECRUIT KIDS TO GET THEIR PARENTS TO BUY THEIR AUTO SUPPLIES FROM THEIR STORE! AND DISNEY GOT INTO THE ACT AS HIS PREMIER ARTISTRY WOULD HAVE APPEAL TO KIDS AND ADULTS ALIKE. THIS IS A GREAT AMERICANA COLLECTIBLE. ENJOY! COLLECT SEVERAL THAT I HAVE LISTED.
I COMBINE SHIPPING - SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT ISSUES SHIP 1/2 PRICE. LIKELY I WILL SEND THESE ROLLED OR ENTIRELY FLAT DEPENDING ON THE PRACTICALITY OF SENDING.
THIS IS A BUY IT NOW ITEM.
