1950s Old Faithful Painting Crayons spades 1 3/4" in diameter

1 3/4" in diameter

with a very snugly fitting lid

or which could be sold onto a doll needing a lovely pair of legs

All with most excellent hands

but I sure wish I'd had him when I was a kid doing puppet shows

1950s Old Faithful Painting Crayons spades 1 3/4" in diameterI've got a total weakness for vintage and antique art supplies so many examples of great packaging and graphics, and, of course, pure color. These Old Faithful "Payons" were produced by the American Crayon Co, 1950s I believe, and can be used dry like a crayon, or as pigment to be shaved and combined with water to make watercolor paint. I found 5 boxes of them together which were pretty much never opened; perhaps they came out of an art supply store.
