A Valentine TV Set For You, Hallmark ca. 1958

 


I'm taking a wild guess on the date--it could be this was produced in the early 1960s. 
This is the kind of collectible I love to find: a reflection of the latest technology in all kinds of ephemera, whether the latest typewriter, the telephone or TV. How many of us had toy telephones or radios (with a music box inside) to mimic the devices of the grown-up world?

Four shows to watch on this TV! The fourth, about a thief stealing the King's tart, is attached with a brad to the front of the card.

  1. I had a tiny yellow plastic television toy. When you clicked it turned a card inside, very similar to these, which showed the story of Thumbellina.
