For decades, cereal companies have included premiums [promotional gifts] inside their packages, printed on the cartons or to send for with a special coupon and redemption instructions.

Most likely made by the Meyercord Company (one of America’s largest transfer decal manufacturers at the time), one decal in particular had an alphabet in gold letters with black outlines.
