Set contains: 6 Red Rubber Molds to make your own Walt Disney Characters: Dumbo,
Thumper, Bambi, Flower, Joe Carioca, Goofy. Comes with: rubber molds, cardboard
can w/metal top of white molding powder (probably plaster of paris), 8 circles
of watercolor, 1 paint brush, 1 round shallow glass Anchor Hocking mixing bowl, 1 wood spatula,
1 plastic bag of talcum powder, 1 glass jar w/metal lid of varnish, 1 cotton
swab, and 16 page full color booklet of instructions & advertisements of other
characters available. Original box is mostly pink with Bambi illustrated on the
top. The box has an original store tag from: Kann's in Washington D.C. of $2.95
(this store no longer exists - see history at bottom). Box & contents stored since the 1950's & the box
lid is somewhat weathered & 2 sides have been taped. Colors are fine and box
bottom is fine. Contents are in excellent condition & rubber molds are still
soft. The catalog/booklet is in excellent condition & is collectible in its own
right as it shows all the other kits. Characters were made by
combining molding powder & water, filling the rubber molds, letting them dry
then painting them.
Pictures of the box & contents & catalog-booklet:
Kay Stanley put out many of these modeling sets "Fun,
Educational, Profitable" hoping to get children & adults interested in crafts
creation and provide an opportunity to make money of the finished painted
characters. We have seen a few other sets available from the 1950's or later but
none were the Disney Characters. Plus we notice that one of the above mentioned
characters is Joe Carioca - a parrot - which I do not recall being continued by
Disney past the early 1950's.
