A couple of off-beat Mantle items I hadn't seen before.

The top two are the front and back of a cut from a National Sports Council mailer (approximately 5-7/16" by 7-5/8", thick paper or thin cardboard). I've seen a lot of it Mantle NSC items, but not this before. Has anyone seen, or know of, the complete mailer?

The bottom two are the front and back of a possible premium from Brookfield Clothes (approximately 2-7/16" by 2-13/16", cardboard similar to a baseball card). I have found a couple of ads for Brookfield Clothes from 1956 that use the picture on the premium (different cropping than what's on the premium). The card does have an old, musty smell. Even though it looks old and smells old, I'm still not 100% sure about its authenticity. The type on the back has me perplexed. Was Mantle involved with Brookfield in 1954? Why would the date be put on the back? Why would it just say "Brookfield" and not "Brookfield Clothes?" Has anyone seen one of these before?
