Mattel #5041 Ringbinder Assortment

Mattel #5041 Ringbinder Assortment Mattel Catalog Section

Mattel #5041 Ringbinder Assortment features the typical, cheap vinyl 3-ring notebooks most of us had in grade school. The vinyl is printed on the front and spine. More details on the Major Matt Mason Ringbinder may be found under its listing. Since none of these assortments has surfaced, it is unknown whether it included some type of display.

Packaging:

The assortment probably came in a plain cardboard box with Mattel logos and an assortment number printed on either end. As an existing assortment has not yet materialized, the packaging is unconfirmed and based upon packaging of other display items from the same period.

John's Notes:

It would be interesting to see an actual display. Due to the rarity of the binder itself, an actual assortment will probably never surface. I've been made to eat my words before, though! Let's hope it happens in this case as well.
