From badges to maps to cards to photos to code books - and even a newspaper - many of these pieces are excellent examples of radio-toy tie-ins - particularly the “Speed Gibson's Great Clue Hunt” Paper Sheet. This rare 1938 piece allowed listeners to track the movement of the Flying Clipper as it moved around the world during the broadcasts. And interestingly, all the memorabilia relating to Speed Gibson's adventures (except for one lone cereal-sponsored premium) were bread related - with sponsors running the gamut from Peter Pan Bread to Brown's Bread Ltd. to Dreikorn's Bread.
