Auction History Result 5d010 ELEANOR POWELL Dixie ice cream premium 1936 wonderful smiling portrait + info on the back! Date Sold 4/7/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Dixie Ice Cream Premium Still (8x10; measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Eleanor Powell was an actress and legendary tap dancer from the 1930s to the 1950s, primarily in MGM musicals. She was married to Glenn Ford from 1943 to 1969, and they had one child, Peter Ford. Some of her movies include: Broadway Melody of 1936, Thousands Cheer, and Honolulu. She passed away in 1982 at the age of 69. 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). Note that we have auctioned a number of these Dixie Ice Cream premium portraits over the years, but many of them have condition defects (which makes sense, because kids traded them and put them in albums). But we are currently auctioning eight of them (in eight separate auctions) that are all in excellent condition and are all of top stars of the late 1930s! Condition: very good to fine.
