\"CC_1960'sToday I want to jump back a half-a-century ago to share a look at a wonderful piece of Halloween confectionery packaging from the Topps company.<\/p>\n

Make the jump and enjoy Topps’ 1960’s Bazooka Halloween Mask bubblegum box!<\/p>\n

During last years’ Countdown I had the pleasure of showcasing a really cool multi-package Halloween piece for Topps Bazooka from the 1970’s<\/a> so today it’s great to follow that up with something even earlier.\u00a0 If you didn’t see the Bazooka post from last year – check it out.<\/p>\n

Though the box I have to show you today is undated, I did find a candy trade magazine clipping from 1963 featuring a similar box:<\/p>\n

\"Topps

Topps – Bazooka Bubble Gum – 90-Pieces Halloween Mask box trade clipping – June 1963<\/p><\/div>\n

Based on that trade clipping, I’d estimate the piece I’m showing today to be from the 1960-1962 period.<\/p>\n

The box really speaks for itself, so here it is:<\/p>\n

\"Topps

Topps – Bazooka Bubble Gum – 80-Pieces Halloween Mask box – 1960’s<\/p><\/div>\n

The design of this one is so of-the-era with the illustrations of the kid trick-or-treating and the cut-out mask feature — I love it.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything I’ve got to share today on this one.\u00a0 But I’ll be back tomorrow with more CountdownToHalloween fun.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
