This listing is for a Very Rare 1962 (NOT 1963) Kenner Easy-Bake Oven POP Retail Display Header Card Advert for Baking Mxes. I found this in a 1963 Kenner Easy-Bake Oven Box with other accessories (which I\'m selling on a seperate listing) and first thought this went with it. On closer inspection it didn\'t make sense and I could not find anyone else selling the same oven with this advert. In fact, I could not find another example of this cardboard advert anywhere the internet so I resided to AI for help. Turned out AI could not find an example of this card either but explained what this likely an in store point of purchase (POP) advert / Header card that the toy stores which carried the mixes to sell would have either mounted vertically in a counter display box or possibly mounted into a wall display rack.
Cosmetically the card is in excellent overall condition with straight cut sides and sharp corners. Colors are very nice showing no signs of fade. There is some light tanning / foxing mostly on the left side and a bend at the bottom Die-cut leg. There are some very small cracked areas of the printed surface loss in the white area just below the top left, mix #290. The card is nice and flat with nice gloss but there is a very slight warp to the card which you can see in the photos (looks less warped in person, photos tended to distort the warp) and the card will lay mostly flat when placed on a flat surface. This warp I\'m sure could be mostly removed by placing between a clean slip sheet and leaving between a few heavy books for a couple weeks or so (I\'ve done this before with good results). The bend at the bottom leg shows that it was used in a display back in the day. The card measures approximately 6 1/2 inches by 9 3/4 inches.
This is your chance to own an incredibly rare, historically significant piece of vintage toy advertising!
