Red K Products presents: Complete 1956 Sylvania "Photo-Props" Party Set - Rare Mail-In Advertising Ephemera!

Step back into the fun of the fabulous '50s with this incredibly rare, complete set of Sylvania "Photo-Props." Originally available only as a mail-in premium in 1956, this collection is a true survivor of mid-century party culture. The set includes all four large-format, die-cut posters—Jungle, Western, Pirate, and Mermaid—designed to turn any gathering into an instant photo op. With their vibrant lithographed graphics and massive 45-inch size, these props capture the charm of the era, from the "Wild West" to the "Deep Blue Sea." Unlike common magazine ads, these actual props are exceptionally scarce, especially as a complete set with the original paperwork.

Perfect for:

• Collectors of rare vintage advertising and paper ephemera.
• Mid-Century Modern (MCM) decor enthusiasts looking for unique wall art.
• Photography historians and fans of the Sylvania brand history.
• Anyone seeking a playful, conversation-starting display piece with genuine 1950s provenance.

Condition: This complete set is in Good to Fair vintage condition, offering an authentic look at its nearly 70-year history. Unlike modern reproductions, these are original 1956 artifacts that show signs of their journey through time. The items exhibit visible creasing, paper toning (patina), and some edge wear/tears consistent with their age and delicate paper construction. They are sold in "as-is" unrestored condition, making them ideal candidates for professional linen-backing or archival framing to preserve their "survivor" status.

Here's the list of contents:

• Original Instruction Sheet: The "Life of the Party" guide featuring the original mail-in order form and Sylvania branding.
• "Jungle Adventure" Prop: A thrilling scene of a tree-climber escaping a python and crocodiles (approx. 45" tall).
• "Wild West" Prop: A classic cowboy shootout scene in front of a General Store.
• "Pirate" Prop: A swashbuckling deck scene with two face cutouts.
• "Mermaid" Prop: A whimsical underwater scene featuring a diver holding a camera equipped with a Sylvania flashbulb.
