Early Bromo-Selzer World’s Fair Flip Book with Hula Dancer and Man with Headache! ministers box 9" long x 3 5/8"

9" long x 3 5/8" tall x 5/8" thick

This one I believe dates to the Meiji period (1868-1912) and features silver hinges on the back and locking mechanism on the front

I especially love the stitched seam up the side

I found it at an estate sale of a man who served in Japan during WWII and brought a lot back with him

Each piece is double sided

Early Bromo-Selzer World’s Fair Flip Book with Hula Dancer and Man with Headache! ministers box 9" long x 3 5/8"This flip book dates to 1939, made for the New York Wolds Fair as an advertising giveaway for Bromo Selzer, a headache cure. In one direction, a very unhappy looking man transforms into a widely smiling one, having a lightbulb moment midway through that leads to a good swig of the the liquid. In the other direction, just the pure pleasure of a hula dancer in grass skirt between two palm trees dancing away. Pretty classic, and pretty fun! 2 1 2 x 1 7
