Post Grape-Nuts Cereal advertising ephemera from 1949. MGM and Walter Lantz cartoon flip movies. Complete set of 12.

These little booklets were given away in boxes of Grape-Nuts in 1949. It is rare to find one. This is a complete set of 12 in nearly mint condition. From a collectibility standpoint they are desirable to product advertising people and comic book people. This is always good as it increases the chances an item will sell at a higher price.

These are tiny, about 1 1/2 x 2 and were reversible. Two movies per booklet. You simply used your thumb to flip through the pages and you will see a mini cartoon. The characters included Woody Woodpecker, Barney Bear, Droopy, Andy Panda and Tom and Jerry. This collection even includes the original inventory sheet. Amazing these would survive intact. They are available for purchase here
