Ta-to (The Clown) - Red Dot Potato Chips Mascot Mask (1950's)

Produced as a promotional giveaway for Red Dot Potato Chips, a regional Midwestern snack company operating throughout the mid-20th century. This illustrated clown character, known as “Ta-to,” was used by the brand during the early–mid 1950s and appears on limited advertising material from that period.

Printed on light cardstock with bold lithograph colors typical of the era.
Issued as a small regional promotion, resulting in fewer surviving examples compared to national cereal or gum-company masks.
