    Description

    Lay’s Oscar Wooden Paddle Ball Toy - Paddle only - Vintage. Condition is "Used". The ball and rubber string attachment are missing. In 1944 the first ad ran by the H W Lay company featured Oscar the Happy Potato. When Lay’s and Fritos brands merged in 1961 to form Frito Lay, Oscar became a mascot of the past . Very rare collector’s piece. This is the only one I have seen and have not seen any listed for sale on any sites on the internet.This piece is one of many in a two generation Frito Lay collection dating from 1965 to 2000. It has been safely stored for all these years. Some wear is noted on the print on the front but in Excellent condition for a piece that may possibly date back to the 1940’s . I have no idea how old this piece is.
    Shipped with USPS First class Mail.
