Description:

Offered is a pair of original vintage dime-store / carnival prize assortment displays. These are the type of novelty sets once sold behind the counter or awarded at fairs and arcades in the mid-20th century. Each board contains a wide mix of small toys, charms, and trinkets, all mounted to styrofoam and covered with aged cellophane.


These were not mass-produced retail packages and were often assembled locally or by small distributors, which is why no manufacturer name appears.


Condition reflects age: one display remains largely intact, while the other shows a broken styrofoam corner and opened wrapping. Contents are sold exactly as shown, uncounted and unrestored.


A great collectible for:

• vintage toy collectors

• dime store / carnival memorabilia collectors

• display, prop, or nostalgia décor
