| | | | (2) 1950's 2 Pound Salesman Sample Candy Box Cover Designs and the chocolate candy image inserts that come with each of them in this lot. These could have easily doubled as candy signs. This might be confusing, but these aren't actually boxes here. These are finished box cover designs are enclosed in plastic with the chocolates insert on the other side. These were brought and used by the salesman to sell the candy. It was not necessary to carry the bulky boxes themselves by using these. They are not simply cut box covers. They were made specifically for the salesman. The perishable candy didn't need to be carried either. Each box design has with it a clear image of the candy that will be in each box when ordered. One of these is from The DERAN CONFECTIONERY COMPANY, INC. of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The other is from the ALICE GRAY CHOCOLATE COMPANY also of Cambridge, Massachusetts. In my other items you will find other different box designs, different sizes, as well as some candy advertising signs. I have only a very limited amount of these that were recently found. All of them are from the 1950's. In this lot are the following Two Pound box designs: ALICE GRAY ASSORTED CHOCOLATES
(Season's Greetings Christmas Box Design)
DERAN'S ASSORTED CHOCOLATES
(Season's Greetings Christmas Box Design) Each of these box cover designs measures 8-7/8" x 7-3/8". These appear to be in mint condition. |
