Collection of Rubber Production Vegetables. 13 pcs. Burling Hull/Magic-Art Rubber Creations, ca. 1954. Realistic hollow rubber props that spring into shape. Colored in elastic base paint. Comprising a carrot, pineapple, cauliflower, cucumber, apple, lemon, orange, melon, tomato, peach, squash, and an ice cream cone. Largest length 12”, smallest length 2”. Some discoloration consistent with age. Surprisingly uncommon despite the regular, repeated advertising by Hull in the 1950s as to the popularity of the products; few examples have survived the intervening decades.
