🚚 Free US Shipping — ships within one business day.

This original 1960s “Adults at Play” decal was produced by Baxter Lane Co. of Amarillo, Texas, a regional mid‑century manufacturer known for novelty and humor‑based water‑transfer decals. These graphics were part of a broader post‑war American culture that embraced playful, tongue‑in‑cheek design for everyday use.

🚗 During the 1950s and 1960s, novelty decals like this were commonly applied to car windows, garages, workshops, and recreational spaces. They served as lighthearted expressions of personality at a time when automobile culture and leisure were central to American life.

📄 This example survives in New Old Stock (NOS) condition and remains sealed in its original wax paper sleeve, complete with the original water‑transfer application instructions. Most decals of this type were applied shortly after purchase, with packaging and instructions discarded, making complete unused examples uncommon.

📏 Measuring approximately 4" × 3", the decal features classic black‑and‑white mid‑century graphics and remains in pristine condition with no wear. Its survival preserves the complete retail presentation of a humor‑driven Americana item that was never intended to be saved.
