Pressman Toys' Witch Doctor Headshrinkers Kit!

In the days of black and white television, boys and girls were tempted by this macabre little ad

Pressman Toys had been manufacturing toys since 1922 with the likes of Little Orphan Annie and Snow White, when they were inspired by the twisted idea of letting little kids play at shrinking heads like real headhunters.

"Now, shrunken heads for all occasions! Collect 'em, swap 'em, give them to your witchdoctor friends!"

Pressman Toys is still around, making Spiderman, Scooby Doo and Jeopardy games, but they'll never top this one!
