Vintage Vigortone Products Mechanical Novelty Card Comic Ephemera For Sale

Up for sale is a fantastic and rare piece of vintage mid-century agricultural advertising ephemera: an original mechanical pocket novelty trick card from Vigortone Products, Inc. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This clever marketing piece uses a classic optical illusion gag to pitch to livestock farmers. When closed, the cartoon panel shows three people standing behind a wooden property fence while a policeman remarks, \"I\'ll pinch the whole three of them!!!\" When you slide the mechanical tab open, the fence shifts away to reveal a playful surprisethe \"rear ends\" are actually three large, plump market hogs being carried under their arms! The uncovered tagline reads: \"Don\'t be deceived your best bet is VIGORTONE Products.\" Cross-collectible across vintage farm advertising, Iowa state history, and historical novelty optical illusions, this card is a memorable piece of Americana. It remains intact
