Item Description
C. 1964. Complete set of 6, each about 5.5x8.5" stiff paper w/character face on front and bw back w/additional character illustration and instructions along w/text "Funny Face Pillsbury's New Drink". Masks are - Goofy Grape, Loud Mouth Lime, Rootin' Tootin' Raspberry, Freckle Face Strawberry, Injun Orange, Chinese Cherry. c. 1964. The orange and cherry characters were changed shortly after their introduction due to complaints from ethnic groups. Each has a pair of die-cut circle pieces at eyes that were meant to be punched out. All have both original punch-out circles intact. Each also has a tiny pair of die-cut circle pieces on right and left sides that were to be punched out for string attachment. All but raspberry are missing these. Two of the top leaf tips on strawberry mask have tiny bends which are only noticeable when viewed closely. Still a N. Mint set. From the archives of premium creators Sam & Gordon Gold, accompanied by a letter to that effect from Gordon Gold.
