An Original Vintage Dixie Ice Cream Premium Still (8x10; measures approximately 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) William 'Wild Bill' Elliott was an actor from the 1920s to the 1950s and was best known for his work in B-westerns, but he appeared in some A-movies as well, including Gold Diggers of 1933, 'G' Men, Gold Diggers of 1935, Platinum Blonde, and Dangerous. He was initially billed as Gordon Elliott, but his first starring role was in "The Great Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok" from 1938, and he played Hickok in several other movies, and once he became identified with Wild Bill Hickok, he changed his stage name to Wild Bill Elliott. 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: very good. There are two reinforcers on the back of the holes, but otherwise, this item is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
