Products produced between 1932 and 1962 carried a 2 or 3 digit reference number prefixed by the letter K.
Numbers were not engraved into product, but were indicated on the box and in the consumer catalogues included in every product. Trade catalogues also carry the appropriate references.
Where there is a product in the archive we have photographed it. Where we have no product but do have a catalogue then we have scanned the catalogue page as an image 'holder' until we get an actual product to photograph. Where we have no product or no image then we've posted a 'WANTED' sign. Please contact us through the 'Contact Us' link in the menu bar if you can help.
Our grateful thanks to those who have already contributed images, acknowledgements have been made in product text.
Eight large jars of a special, thick, water-soluble paint, free from any injurious matter and which will immediately wash out of clothing. The ingenious felt brushes prevent the child from using too thickly. Poster paints are used in all nursery schools.
The desire to paint is present in all young children. This pastime should not only be possible but it should be encouraged. These colours will not stain clothes or carpets. The paints are made up of finely ground particles of insoluble colour pigments with china coat added for body. This is bound together to form paint by gum arabic which dissolves immediately in warm water, thus allowing the solid colour particles to fall out of any material. The eight 4-oz. jars are fixed in a box with hinged lid and front so that they cannot spill in use. Each set contains five felt brushes which are more practical than hair or bristle brushes. Poster paints are used in every good nursery school.
Age: 2 - 6 years.
