Would unopened Goudey/Butterfinger etc. premiums exist?

[darkhorse9]

As I understand their distribution, Goudey and Butterfinger premiums were sent to stores to hand out to kids with purchases.

Has anyone ever seen a box of these anywhere? I would think that since there was nothing perishable that it's possible some store owners might have shoved some boxes of these away some where for posterity to find later.

What did the boxes look like? How many were in a box?

Any experts out there know this?

Unlikely, items such as these were often sent to the store owner simply in a non-description envelope or box with some instructions on how to distribute (ie give one photo to each kid purchasing a pack of gum or candy). Several years ago an envelope from the O-Pee-Chee Gum Co was found just like that with what had always been described as V94 "Butterfinger Canadian" cards with a near complete set still inside the envelope. The Goudey premiums may have been distributed for their smaller sets in a display box (sets like R314 or R303) but I don't recall ever having seen any.
