Kenner Play-Doh Double-Sided Metal Store Display

Kenner Play-Doh Double-Sided Metal Store DisplayLet’s keep the store display love going with another double-sided metal sign.  Kenner store displays, or POP (Point of Purchase) displays as they are sometimes called,  are a really fun segment of toy collecting.  Kenner produced many different types of store displays over the years to help sell their product lines.  Some displays are relatively simple like printed cardboard shelf talkers, and others are so large and elaborate that you are in awe when you see them.  Individual displays and display sets could be purchased by toy store owners for use in their stores.  In some cases, the displays were thrown in as a perk to encourage large orders, or given to large retailers in hopes they would display them in the toy aisles.

Like the Fast 111’s sign, this large double-sided metal display is made from two identical metal halves that are riveted together.  This allowed it to hang from the ceiling and be seen from both sides.  The sign measures 20″ high x 20″ wide and features the Play-Doh logo, as well as the tag line America’s Favorite.  It has the Kenner logo in the lower right hand corner along with the following copyright information:  ©CPG Products Corp. 1981.

The sign also has the cool Play-Doh boy on it, not the lame Play-Doh punk kid Hasbro tried to push on us a while back.

One of the coolest parts of this sign is that many of the details are actually press formed into the metal to create a 3-dimensional effect.  You can see the raised areas in the image below:
