Willlie Mays identification help!

Or a board game display

Thanks for the thoughts. The "card" is 1/16" thick - that is quite thick. Thicker than any board game box I have seen. Also don't recognize it from any of the Mays board games I have seen.

Turns out Howard and I are pretty tight, and he asked me before posting here.

I am similarly clueless about this item, other than to make the obvious observations about what can be gleaned just from looking at it.

But I do appreciate the vote of confidence in my (limited) abilities!

Mid 60s ? Could it be from m Pepsi with that blue border?

Does Mays have 2 different milk carton cards?

Based on the size, this would need to be an entirely different milk carton issue. Because the Meadowgold pieces measure about 2” square.

The thickness also seems a bit much for a milk carton. 1/16 of an inch is a pretty thick milk carton. Now, I know they don’t make them like they used to back when the milkman would deliver milk bottles to your house every morning. But the thickness here seems pretty extreme for a milk carton.

Based on how thick it is, it strikes me that it’s more likely to be a display piece, maybe in a store somewhere. Then someone repurposed it for their homebrew sign on the back, and later repurposed it back when they realized they had something on the front worth saving.
