Vintage 1960s "Ken and Barbie Make a Cigarette Survey" Public Health Brochure
Vintage 1960s "Ken and Barbie Make a Cigarette Survey" Public Health Brochure
This is a rare and fascinating piece of social history published by the American Cancer Society (Florida Division) in the early 1960s. It represents an early anti-smoking campaign document printed before modern trademark and licensing standards were strictly enforced.
While the brochure uses the names "Ken" and "Barbie" and features illustrations of teenagers that mirror the aesthetic of the era, this was produced without Mattel's affiliation. It's a striking example of early 60s public health outreach that leveraged the "Teen Idol" names of the day to reach a younger audience.
Perfect for collectors of medical ephemera, 1960s tobacco history, or those who collect "unofficial" Barbie-related rarities.
Minor yellowing and age spotting consistent with the age of the item and the type of paper used. Otherwise in excellent condition without major folds or tearing.
