looks like a premium most likely from a radio show of the same name. Try the old time radio sites for a match then look in the price guides for radio premiums. Some of the better known ones were for Little Orphan annie; the Shadow; Superman; Batman; Captain midnight, etc. They can be pretty pricey. Good find and good luck getting a value. siegfried schlagrule

Isn't that "Frank the Tank" from the movie Old School?

Back in the good ol' days, kids wouldn't come home from school and watch TV. They listened to their favorite kids' radio adventure shows instead. Today, those old radio programs are classified as "juvenile adventure" shows, and are frequently 15- or 30- minute serialized episodes, where the hero is left in a precarious predicament at the end of each episode.

Here is a list of some of those kids' adventure shows.http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:FyVngfG4_rMJ:www.old-time.com/kidshows/index.html+Frank+Farrell+adventures&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us

Yes BCH I found this link informational. I did a google image search this morning and found a picture of it. Duh wasn't thinking to clearly last night.

Looks like it's from the 1930s, a radio show premium.


Thanks.
