Hoboken, NJ: R. B. Davis Co, 1932. Ephemera. Very good. A vintage aviation pictorial puzzle map.

Puzzle size: 10 x 6 1/2". Several of the pieces have adhesive mounting reminants to the reverse. With the original printed mailing envelope, which is wrinkled, but complete, but for a small loss from the upper left corner. A colorful 65-piece cardboard jigsaw puzzle map of the western United States. which was provided as a premium for Cocomalt customers. This map showcases Col. George Hutchinson and his "Flying Family" - his wife, two children, and their mascot, the lion cub "Sunshine."

In 1931, at the start of commercial aviation, the Hutchinson family embarked upon a flying tour of the United States, visiting with the governors of each of the 48 states. A nice example of early commercial aviation ephemera.
