Description :

Pair of vintage cereal boxes from Kellogg's & General Mills. Both advertise space-related premiums on the backs and are shrink-wrapped in plastic. We believe these are vintage rather than reproductions given our client's penchant for authenticity and the way the cardboard box has aged over time. However, we are not experts, so you cereal box collectors please look closely and determine for yourself.

Kellogg's PEP cereal box - in wonderful shape with very little yellowing and no noticeable flaws; 12 oz. package with advertising for "outer space fleet" rockets and launchers premium on the verso. Note that this box is from Canada and French is included along with English (very Canadian -  note the advertised [not included] hockey player figure inside!). Measures approx. 10"  H x 8" W x 2" D. 

General Mills JETS cereal box - in good shape with only slight wear on some of the edges that had dark pigment printing. 10 oz package with advertising for a "space pilots" book premium on the verso. Love that the address to send for the premium is "Minneapolis 1, Minnesota"; pre-zip code! Measures 8.75" H x 6.75" W x 2.25" D.
