Advertising Bookplate 1940s VI-CO Chocolate Milk

A great piece of dairy advertising in a 1940s hardcover copy of Shirley Temple and the Spirit of Dragonwood By Kathryn Heisenfelt, illustrated by Henry E. Vallely, published by Whitman. In fair to good condition with hinges split but holding, with dust jacket. The Vi-Co advertising bookplate is intriguing. The substance appears similar to modern-day wear-off tattoos applied with water and pressure: very thin and shiny. The bookplate would have been applied by rubbing. It measures 4.25 x 2.5 inches. Searching the web offers interesting, and in some cases conflicting, information. I do not know ... View more info
