An Original Vintage Dixie Ice Cream Premium Still (8x10; measures approximately 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Lucille Ball was an actress from the 1930s to the 1980s. While many people only know her as the star of TV's "I Love Lucy" (perhaps the most successful TV sitcom of all time), she had a long career at RKO for over ten years prior, and some of her movies include: Top Hat, Stage Door, Mame, Valley of the Sun, and the Dark Corner. In addition to appearing on the "I Love Lucy" TV show (and its several follow-up shows without her husband, former bandleader Desi Arnaz), the couple also made the movies "The Long, Long Trailer", and "Forever Darling". She passed away in 1989 at the age of 77. Important Added Info: Note that this is a special color 8" x 10" item that was given away as a premium from the Dixie Cup company. The Dixie Cup company created a large number of such premiums, which were given away to kids who sent in Dixie Cup lids. Each premium would have a full-color image of the star on the front, and on the back was biographical information of that star, along with black & white scenes from some of their movies. Every Dixie Cup premium would have two punch holes in one border, and kids would be sent two "covers" (one front and one back) to create a "scrapbook" (the covers gave the instructions on how to make the scrapbook by binding the Dixie Cup premiums between the two covers "with color cord, shoe string, or ribbon". Note that these were first made in the mid-1930s, and they continued all the way to the early 1950s (when the two holes switched to the top of the premium). Condition: good to very good. The premium was lightly folded down the middle at one time. Learn More about condition grades
