1930s Cereal Company Baseball Premiums

I figure since Rick is a true Gentleman, he hadn't posted his wonderful Huskies items yet, instead waiting for me to post mine.

BTW... The Huskies Box was recently acquired from Rick as well. Thanks again Rick, for everything. Sincerely, Jimmy

Well, Jimmy, the known universe of Huskies cereal collectibles just expanded again...

This metal Post Cereals restaurant display rack dates to that brief period when Huskies roamed the earth (1937-39). It stands about 22" tall, is 14" wide and 7" deep. I wish I owned enough Post single-serving boxes to load it properly, but I used some competitor boxes for effect.

I'm going to resist the temptation to use "Life's swell when you keep well" as my message footer...

Previously posted, but it belongs in this thread too...

I completely agree with Scott. One more thing... How in the HELL did I miss this restaurant supply rack the first time around! That is killer Rick. So let's hear the story. How did ya find it Rick?

Similar to Rick's, although not as rare because I'm guessing there are a lot more examples of Kellogg's around. I need to get on the ball and find some single-serving boxes.

No great story this time, guys...just good eyes, as the item was partially buried in a crowded booth. Rob, that Kellogg's rack is in superb condition...so good that I fear adding any single-serving boxes might scratch it up. Better leave that to me.
