A 1944 trade advertisement in Playthings magazine promoted the Wildfire Hasko Mystic Boards and Trays toy. The toy included a magic "planchette" that moved to spell out messages on the board, creating a supernatural experience. The design aimed to appeal to children's curiosity about the unknown and the mysterious. The Wildfire Hasko Mystic Boards and Trays were manufactured by the W.F. Hasko Co., who also produced similar toys such as Ouija boards. The ad emphasized that the toy was durable and could withstand heavy use, making it a worthwhile investment for retailers and customers alike.
