Perry Winkle (Toonerville Folks) - Par-T-Mask - Einson Freeman Co. Paper Mask (1933)

Produced by Eisen Freeman Co. under their “Par-T-Mask” line, this rare promotional paper mask features Perry Winkle—one of the standout child characters from Toonerville Folks, the iconic comic strip created by Fontaine Fox (1908–1955). Perry rose to popularity in the early 1930s and was merchandised in toys, books, and licensed products like this mask.

Brightly lithographed with Perry’s playful blonde-haired face, this mask ties directly to the Golden Age of Newspaper Comics, when characters like Perry were household names read by millions daily. Copyrighted in 1933 to Famous Artists Syndicate, this is among the earliest licensed comic strip masks ever produced.
