Special Notes: This is a very early four-pack, containing Pat. Pend. minis. As with all known Pat. Pend. minis, the labels have an outer ring and the five rings are in the 2-over-3 configuration.
This package is partially open on the left side, allowing the two left discs to be removed, confirming that the minis are A molds and have the Pat. Pend. tooling on the bottom. The package shows two black minis on the top and two white on the bottom intead of the normal diagnonal arrangement. This is the way the package was delivered to the contributor, but not necessarily the way Wham-O packaged it. It is perhaps more likely that the two left minis were reversed in position by the original owner, although some Li'l Beaver (Canadian) four-packs were packaged as this set is shown, with the two black minis on top.
The backs of these packages, created in 1967, include Frisbee Golf as one of the games to be played.
