One boxed painting set entitled All American Coloring Outfit, manufactured by J. Pressman & Co., New York, ca. 1930. The set is comprised of 10 round cakes of watercolor paint, a tin water dish, a paintbrush, and a 6-page coloring book. The coloring book is entitled A Trip to Circus Land and includes images of circus acts. The paints, dish and booklet are mounted to the bottom half of the cardboard box, which is decoratively printed. The top lid is decorated with a color image of a seated boy painting at an easel. The words "All American" are reflective of the American flag; the word "all" is blue with white stars, and the word "American" is horizontally striped in red and white. "Made in U.S.A. ; J. Pressman & Co. and New York" are printed at the bottom of the top lid.
