PRISTINE MID-CENTURY ART COLLECTIBLE: VINTAGE CRAYOLA "RUBENS" NO. 24 DRAWING CRAYONS 🎨

Up for sale is an absolute time-capsule piece: a vintage 1940s/1950s Crayola Rubens Drawing Crayon No. 24 box produced by the historic Binney & Smith Company (New York, USA).

This is an ultra-rare find for stationery collectors, vintage toy enthusiasts, or Americana curators because it is in NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) condition.

🌟 HIGHLIGHTS & CONDITION DETAILS:

• THE PERFORATED DESK FLAP IS COMPLETELY UNPUNCHED: Historically, children punched out the front panel to create a multi-tiered desktop holder. The perforation lines on this box remain 100% uncut and firmly anchored. Please see photo!
• 100% UNUSED CRAYONS: The top lid was carefully popped open solely to verify contents. Inside, all 24 original crayons feature f factory tips, uniform wrapper labels, and absolutely zero use.
• HISTORIC COLOR PALETTE: Features original deep-pigment formula "Rubens" blends, including historically significant colors such as Prussian Blue, Gold Ochre, and the pre-1962 "Flesh" crayon (later renamed Peach).
• MAKER MARKINGS: Displays the iconic St. Louis World’s Fair Gold Medal emblem, the 1940-introduced circular non-toxic Certified Products (CP) Seal, and back-panel instructions for fabric stenciling and hot-iron settings.

📦 BOX CONDITION:

The structural cardstock is exceptionally crisp with firm edges. Shows only minor, expected shelf storage aging. Excellent ink saturation on the classic tan and navy blue geometric print. No heavy crushing, tape alterations, or child's handwriting anywhere on the surface.

Please review the high-definition pictures closely for exact item details and condition before purchasing.
