Item Description
©1949 National Biscuit Company. Two piece sign which fits together to size of 23" wide 65.75" tall overall. Cardboard with wonderful full image art image of Straight Arrow holding a box of Nabisco Shredded Wheat and gesturing towards viewer with additional text "Tune In Your Mutual Station Complete Half Hour Show" sign at lower right for price and repeat images of 12 ounce boxes of Nabisco Shredded Wheat behind him. Nabisco also produced a much smaller counter top standee with similar image. Easel on back of sign is expertly crafted replacement with wood reinforcements. Bottom right has 11x14.25" bit of moisture from reverse but just a little shows on front. Blank area below Mutual Station box has penciled-in time of 5:00pm. Figure has a few scattered areas with small bits of missing surface paper in pants area, and a few narrow scratches across bottom floor image area. A few tiny bits of missing surface paper on tips of bow and feathers at top but still displays Fine overall. We have sold the small display for as much as $1000 and this large one is listed in Hake's Official Price Guide to Pop Culture Memorabilia at $2500 in Fine. One of the rarest and most impressive of all character promo standees. First we've offered in our 45 years and one of only a few known. Incredible display piece.
