The second picture shows two insert cards from Nabisco Shredded Wheat boxes that were part of a do-it-yourself 'newfangled' TV broadcast of the Straight Arrow show and included not only a script, but also a box that served as a television in which those cut-outs (which were intended to be put on a child's fingertip) could perform! I have those as part of the five SA "Injun-uity" Card insert sets produced between 1948 & 1952.
That's how it starts, you know.... I found a handful of those Injun-uity cards left over from my childhood and had to complete the set ~ which I finally did a few years back.
As for the Rodeo set, I'll try to post pics of a similar GE premium item soon ~ their "Big Top Circus"
Had some.
Sure wish that I still did.
You have yours?
THANKS! YES.
Do these have the same value as others?
