Brian-tried to post this last week, but my net54 connection just did not work. Great find. An hopefully OK to add some information about the boxes shown in the ad if I might. As one can see, there is no information that shows whether each Jell-O box is a large or small sized box that is for sale in the ad. Nor is there information as to whether those marked as Lemon flavor are either a gelatin or a pudding product. in researching these boxes for a while, it seems pretty dead certain to me that each of these boxes were a small sized gelatin box. I say this based on several reasons. Almost all the boxes one sees now that are complete and folded like these were, can be tied to a player and flavor shown in this ad. I say this based on observation and tracking over the years of unused, flattened, folded boxes like these on sites such as eBay ... and there is a direct tie on 99% of them. Your two boxes of Mantle and Maris are great examples. Both appear in Lew's ad and in the flavor shown in the ad. As we have talked about before, it is very tough to believe your boxes were not a part of those sold in this ad. Additionally after this ad had run its course, there were maybe 45 boxes that had not sold and Lew sold these in bulk to a long-time Post/Jell-O collector. That collector has liquidated these over the years. He confirmed to me that all the boxes he got from Lew were small sized boxes and none were pudding. Thought I would share if anyone is interested.

Ken, I am definitely interested. Your chiming in is a humongous gong of expertise, and I am grateful to you. I wish you the best as you track down research on the '62 JELL-Os! --- Brian Powell
