Figaro (Pinocchio) - Gilette Blue Blades - Advertising Promotional Paper Mask (1939)

$40.00

Distributed in 1939 by Gillette Blue Blades to coincide with Walt Disney’s Pinocchio, this promotional paper mask features Figaro, Geppetto’s mischievous black-and-white cat. Part of the complete Gillette Pinocchio mask set, these were handed out in stores and barbershops to children as a clever tie-in between Disney’s film release and Gillette’s brand promotions.

Because Figaro was a fan-favorite character but considered “secondary” in the lineup, fewer masks survive compared to the lead characters. Today, original Figaro examples are prized among Disneyana and advertising collectors alike, especially with intact printing and strong colors.

Measures approx. 10 ½ inches by 10 inches.
