Michelin “Brain Teaser” – Michelin Collectors

It is certainly the most common and the most mainstream representation of the Michelin Man. Curiously, this Michelin Man ‘brainteaser’, which was once 6 cm high, is also one of the rarest Michelin collectors’ items on the market, its owners stubbornly refusing to part with this childhood memento! Actually in the 60-70’s, from Touquet to Biarritz, passing through Saint-Malo to Royan, tens of thousands of children were a part of Michelin’s beach game. Every afternoon Michelin’s publicity cars settled in a different seaside resort. Michelin Man distributed to every child present on the beach a bag with the famous Brain-teaser in pieces. The first one who managed to rebuild this Michelin Man received beautiful gifts emblazoned with Michelin, including balloons, and everyone carefully preserved their beach Bibendum. An object as aesthetic as nostalgic!
