SPARKLE PAINTS

A friend of mine just pointed out this item on ebay - he called it a Holy Grail of cartoon collectibles, but I'm not too sure of that - but it sure brought back a flood of memories to me.

I guess finding a Sparkle Paint set in mint condition would be a rather rare find. And get a look at this example of UPA merchandising in its waning days.The Dick Tracy Show with it's wealth of ethnic stereotyped dectectives and policemen - and Mr. Magoo and his Chinese houseboy, "Cholly" (not Charlie). No wonder we rarely see these cartoons anymore.

Ahh, the good old days...
