Congratulations on a great find!! A little older than you 59, but I have always been drawn to complete boxes of food issues. I can remember coming across 4 1959 Bazooka panels at a flea market across from peddlers village in PA. This was shortly after the Sports collectors bible came out so I knew what they were and knew the $1 each was a good deal. That led me to a lengthy discussion about Bazooka's with John Ramirez at a small show near Silver Spring MD., who suggested that I keep an eye out for 1960 Bazooka's because he felt they were more difficult than the 59's. And in pre internet days I agree they were very difficult to come across slightly more accessible today but the Boxes you landed are Crown Jewels in any Bazooka collection. Again Congratulations.
Jonathan
