    MONSTER CEREAL BIKE MOTOR ORIGINAL ART FROM THE COMPANY THAT PRODUCED THE PREMIUMS FOR GENERAL MILLS!
    Here is a great opportunity to buy a really unusual cereal related item:
    70s-80s original concept art from a prolific premium development company in Chicago,IL. I bought almost a dozen pieces of art--some that were produced, some that were not.
    It took me SEVEN YEARS to get the owner of these items to part with them!
    These pieces of art were used to submit to General Mills or Kellogg's as concepts for future premiums. Some were developed and produced.....and as is the case with most of this art, some were NOT. This artwork represents the very first step in the premium process....even before handmade prototypes. Also take note that the finished products often had minor changes from the concept art.
    According to the owner during these times, here is a description of the concept art:
    THE ARTBOARDS ARE THE ORIGINAL HAND-PAINTED (USUALLY WATER-COLORS) BOARDS, DONE BY AN ARTIST WE USED FOR OVER 40 YEARS.  THEY ARE DONE ON HEAVY ILLUSTRATION BOARD, WITH TISSUE AND BLACK COVER (ON MANY BOARD THE COVERS AND TISSUE LOST THEIR ADHESIVE AND ARE COMING OFF).
    Note- the monster cereal art is very colorful, well drawn and very much in the style of the artwork seen on actual General Mills cereal boxes. The artwork is 15 x 10" on thick artboard material. All have a protective tissue paper overlay with all fit inside a black thick paper flap that covers the front of the art. All art is stamped on the back identifying the company that made it.
    Also all concept art comes with a certificate of authenticity from the owner of the company!
    Keep in mind-- this company designed many of the classic premiums of the 1960s-70s period including the HR Pufnstuf Freddy the Flute, Woody Woodpecker Swimmer and Door knocker, Tony the Tiger Swimmer, Corny 7 rocket, Dick Dastardly Airplane telescope, Monster cereal- Door Knockers, Bike Spinners, Puff Chutes and Spooky Speedsters, Capt Crunch Sea Cycle, Kelloggs Sonic Wave space gun, Quisp kite and many, many more.
    OWN A PIECE OF CEREAL HISTORY!

    COMBINED SHIPPING ?
    YES...I can do this
    but ONLY If you follow the below instructions.
    To be clear, "combined shipping" is when you buy 3 items, for example, each with a shipping charge of , but since I can ship all 3 in the same box, you get charged -12 instead of .
    I cannot "combine shipping" after you have already paid.
    1) DO NOT USE the cel phone app ! If you do, EBAY will force immediate payment and charge you full shipping on each item. I will not refund your money if this happens.
    2) You must log into EBAY with a
    browser
    (Chrome, Safari etc) on your phone, computer or laptop to avoid this.
    3) Put all items in your Cart and then, while in your Cart, click the "Request Total" link
    Because EBAY and PAYPAL have made partial refunds so complicated, I will no longer be refunding $ if you do not follow these instructions.
