I've been searching the web all day trying to find info on them but no dice until this page. I would be happy to take pics for you, as both box and chalk are in amazing condition. It's actually called Robin Hood chalk, and seems to share a logo with the above-pictured watercolors.Slynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-76214924308048964872015-01-30T07:57:56.772-05:002015-01-30T07:57:56.772-05:00I have one of the Visualizer chalk tins pictured a...I have one of the Visualizer chalk tins pictured above.

The letters he wrote during the war give a vague idea of all the crazy sorts of things they were working on there for the war effort. It was all a bit hush hush, you know... Anywho, great graphics and thanks for posting!Balweariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10822608174664238150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-22421021548552497182011-05-17T16:12:30.741-04:002011-05-17T16:12:30.741-04:00I have a box of unused Imperial chalk with the clo...I have a box of unused Imperial chalk with the clown on the box.

I love anything that is retro especially old advertiseing and products, and especially things having to do with Brooklyn - so this is just my sort of thing!

I have been collecting images of Made In Brooklyn for a while. I find them a bit all over the net. I will be posting some more in the next few weeks, so keep on checking back.<BR/><BR/>Frank,<BR/>How cool that you actually remember the brand of clay. I love that clown. I don't know from what year it is.

The rest were less than second best.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13692443378942338208noreply@blogger.com
