This fantastic set of PAPER TOYs (also referred to as a Paper Doll or Card ) was issuedby the WOOLSON SPICE CO. of Toledo Ohio as an insert premium in their brand ofLION COFFEE. This series is listed as K33 in the American Card Catalogue. The set is from a series of Nursery Rhymes. Each set consisted of 4 separate pieces thatcould be slotted together to depict a scene from the Nursery Rhyme. The backsof the cards feature advertising for Lions Coffee, Instr...uctions on how the setgoes together or the Nursery Rhyme itself. As you can imagine often are either missing pieces or mixed up with otherdifferent sets. They also tended to havepieces torn off during play. The bottomalso has flaps that are designed to be bent back to allow the piece to be usedas a stand up doll. These flaps are often torn off through use over the yearsand it is tough to find a set with them still intact as this one does. This series is Number 6 in the set andfeatures LITTLE BO PEEP. It does havesome creasing and wear. , but over all it displays nicely. Mostimportantly it is fully intact, with the all 4 parts complete. I have scanned the set both front and backfairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. This is a rare and highly desirable crossover collectable. It is coveted by paper doll and toy collectors and coffee advertising collectors, Because of the fact that it was issued as a toy to be playedwith, and that it is fairly fragile to begin with, not many have survived over the 120 plus years (as it is over 100 yearsold it is an official American Antique) . They are very prone to being torn apart, and finding one intact is tough..
