Die cut pinwheel of nine enlarged, full color 1961 Post cereal baseball cards on thick, high gloss cardboard stock. The “dramatic motion” wheel (as described in salesman merchandising literature), measures 27 inches in diameter and features dual sided facsimile cards with individual dimensions of 6” by 8?”. The middle of the wheel (i.e. the portion unadorned by the cards) is black, with a center punch-out, which was used to attach a cardboard image of a “young slugger” and to accommodate an electric motor assembly. The rectangular shaped cards all overlap at the bottom right hand corner, with players displayed in the following order: Willie Mays, Roy Face, Whitey Ford, Jim Gentile, Jim Lemon, Nellie Fox, Ken Boyer, Lew Burdette, and Pete Runnels. Condition is VG-EX to EX for this rare promotional item appearing in a grocery store 43 years ago! The perfect item to accompany the original artwork used for Post Cereal baseball cards offered in another lot.
