    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to identify what is this item and who made it.

    I have searched the item on google but I can't find any results.

    Please can you help me?

    Thanks
    Bernardo Silva

    Hmmm, I find it interesting that what one would think would be the word "GORILLA" is instead spelled/printed on the card as "CORILLA." :confused:

    Am I missing a link somewhere (no pun intended)???? :rolleyes:

    Does anyone think it is an "advertising" card for a book, a movie, a lecture of some sort?????

    I think there's a tiny crossmark on the C making it a G. The same thing seems to be happening on the g in changing. I think it was just a funny card to send someone.

    Bev aka thelmasstuff, you are absolutely right (there is a tiny crossmark on the C making it a G). :shame: ;)

    These pictures remind me of the blocks covered on all sides in partial pictures on paper that you moved around to make different images - the "right one" and other "funny ones." A puzzle kind of toy.

    These seem to have a place where the upper halves and lower halves come part - maybe so you could make other combinations?

    Another angle of inquiry is the logo on the lower front of the envelope - YS in a shield?
