From a time when girls wore button up sweaters and did not want them to open....a sweater guard which you would pin one side of the sweater to the other, usually towards the top of the sweater. Nice design featuring Sleeping Beauty Castle and Tinkerbell.
Wow - I never even knew something like a sweater guard existed! Love the price tag!!!! What's an "excise tax"?
ReplyDeleteVery cool to see this one the original card.
ReplyDeleteI looked up "excise tax" on Wikipedia, but it put me to sleep!
This is that style of simple, clean, fun packaging that Jody and I love. This is perfect. I'm putting together a blog post symposium on packaging design and may refer to this one. It's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, it's comforting to learn that among her many uses, Tinker Bell was also a guardian against wardrobe malfunctions of the 50s!
You need a companion illustration of the guard in action.

Does anyone know why is there an excise tax in addition to the sales tax?
ReplyDeleteI have one of these sweater guards that was passed town to me. I'm woundering that they are worth and how rare they are? Please help!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Michael
Is this for sale?
ReplyDeleteNot for sale.
ReplyDeleteI have one very similar but it has pin backs. Are the clips pre-dating the pins? I've never seen one similar.
