Item Description
Lot consists of items from The W. & F. Mfg. Co., Inc. of Buffalo, NY. Lot includes single-sided 8.5x11" retailer's sheet dated 1949 that shows figural Cellowax "Special Delivery Shmoo" candy. Some penciled/inked notations at top but VF overall. Comes w/8.5x9x2-5/8" deep illustrated cardboard store box that held 24 of these candies. Box is evenly aged but has never been separated along perforations as intended for display. Box has some tape staining along left/right side panels but is o/w Fine. Lastly are three of the actual wax candy shells, including two female and single male Shmoo. These show expected wear/aging for wax material over 65 years old. Fine. The retailer's sheet and box are both rare and the first we've offered of either in our 49 years. Barry Lutsky Collection.
