Princess Glory (Gullivers Travels) - Paramount Pictures Heckers Flour Promotional Paper Mask (1939)

A true gem of 1930s animation memorabilia, this full-color paper mask features Princess Glory, the heroine of Paramount Pictures’ 1939 animated feature Gulliver’s Travels. Released to compete with Disney’s Snow White, Paramount’s lavish fairy-tale musical was supported by a wide national promotion—including this rare Hecker’s Flour premium mask.

The back side includes a period-perfect “Lilliputian Cakes” recipe, along with directions for children to reenact scenes from the movie at home. Issued as a grocery-store tie-in, these masks were usually worn, bent, and discarded.

Rarity & Collectibility:
Among the Gulliver’s Travels mask set (which included Gabby, Prince David, King Little, and others), Princess Glory is one of the most desirable characters. As the romantic lead of the film, she stands as the parallel to Disney’s Snow White and Cinderella-era princesses.
