To promote their Pep brand of cereal in 1937, Kellogg's issued a series of 90 stamps in panels of four, containing "the most famous stars in Football, Baseball, Tennis, Golf, Swimming, Auto Racing, Horse Racing, Boxing and Aviation."  In exchanging a Kellogg's Pep box top and ten cents, customers could receive this Kellogg's Album of American Athletes and Games - the album for their stamps, along with five board games and a spinner dial.  Presented here is that album, measuring a whopping 10" x 14 1/2", in outstanding condition and entirely intact.  The perforations where the various game pieces were to be detached have begun to separate in places, but a careful owner and safe storage can prevent further deterioration.  Also included is the original mailing envelope, in GOOD condition with wear at the corners and edges.
