Artifact Overview
Jim Henson's Muppets experienced their greatest fame on TV, with The Muppet Show (1976 to 1981). The show introduced millions to Henson's unique blend of humor and imagination. In 1976, Fisher-Price, which produced an early line of Muppet-show related toys, seems to have mailed out a packet that included this item as an incentive to join the official fan club.
