"I'LL LET YOU PLAY WITH MINE, IF..." Risqué Gag Gift from the 1960s. Printed on the top of the brown lids reads:
"I'LL LET YOU PLAY WITH MINE
IF...
YOU LET ME PLAY WITH YOURS
The gift box contains a novelty gag toy - two plastic yo-yos labeled "his" and "hers". Measuring 6" by 3 ⅜” by 1", the box is structurally sound and features the Golden's logo on the edge.
This gag gift was produced by Golden's Magic Wand, a company founded by Eddy Golden in Costa Mesa, California. Originally a small retail store in Pasadena, the business has since grown into one of the nation's leading manufacturers and importers of magic devices, novelties, party gifts, jokes, and costumes over the course of 75 years. The company's name is derived from Eddy's last name and his passion for performing magic tricks.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A GAG BOX? According to collectors, the whole idea is to entice you to open the box up--like a funny three-dimensional greeting card. When you open it, it's not at all what you expected--but a gag!
Gag boxes became very popular during World War II and actually held priority with mail service during the War. When the Washington D.C. postal service office was asked why these risqué and funny gag boxes got to the troops when other things didn't, they answered, “We’ve had combat fatigue cases that never cracked a smile for weeks until somebody handed them a gag.” Ain’t that neat?
