The Expectant Father Pac ©

Time for one of the most extensively pac'd gag gift boxes of all time, --The Expectant Father Pac ©!  Made by the Milbert Co. in Hempstead, NY, (midcentury, I'm guessing), this thing --similar to a freshly loaded baby diaper--- is overflowing with superb cartoon art, miniature items, and laugh out loud "new dad" hilarity. I'd offer you all a run down list of everything inside, but there's already one included! So get scrollin', lil doggies, your life is just about to get interesting, again...

  1. Did or does still the aspirin box actually have any aspirin?

  2. I wonder if Spencer's sold an item like this, and I wonder if the tin actually held aspirins when brand new.

    Yet another great find, Karswell, you just seem to have the knack for finding the coolest stuff.

  3. Is that porcelain thing the "baby sitter"? Okay, that is pretty darn funny. I love the look of the outer box--yellow and black is a classic--and the inner plastic gag. They make a great contrast in that fourth pic.

  4. My favorite thing is the tiny money drop box, and the cloth diaper art is also amazing.

    Nothing in the aspirin tin.

  5. Well, I came here to be another person wondering if the aspirin tin was just a gag or had real aspirin, and got that solved!

    I like that this kit includes 6 ... SIX "It's a X" cigar bands. So either the father has only 3 friends or will have 6 births. Either way, yikes!
