Item Description
6.5x10-1/8x3.25" deep cardboard Ogilvie cereal box has classic image of Superman w/hands on hips on front w/"Superman Says 'Keep Strong And Healthy'" text. This is repeated on back in French. Released by Canadian Ogilvie Cereal Co./The Ogilvie Flour Mills Co., Limited in 1941. This company also released a rare Superman premium badge, order sheet and decal sheet that was likely issued as a insert premium in boxes such as this. Box has been neatly opened and original cereal contents long ago emptied, box remains complete w/all flaps intact. Box has moderate, even aging and some scattered moisture spots on French back and trace of surface paper insect damage to "Oats" text on English front. Top flap has some grease penciling but box retains a nice, tight shape. Fine overall. Very rare and the first example we've seen in our 48 years.
