Seen this pop up on eBay and bought it. No idea what it is or where it came from

8”x3.5” thick cardboard stock

Searched all over google and Facebook as well as eBay and cannot find what this came from.

Contest ends 9/63 so if assume it’s from the 1963 season.

That's a neat item, I'm assuming it was for Members of the Armed Service only, as a fun morale booster. I'm curious if it was distributed in SE Asia or just Stateside, would be a hell of a prize to be flown home from Vietnam in 1963.

True I didn’t even think of that, I thought it was from a magazine but the thickness makes me now think otherwise.

Interesting. Must have been on a "carton" of some kind of dry goods - certainly not milk - maybe cookies - probably as an impulse purchase item at the checkout aisle in a base exchange or commissary. As a youngster stationed in Alaska at that time, I would have been eligible to enter the contest, but don't think my unit commander would have authorized a leave for me if had won. Could sure have used the money, though, as I was saving for a car purchase.

The card stock would be similar to that of dry goods. It’s slightly thicker than a cereal box. I’m not sure how that compares to boxes from the 60s.

Any interest in selling

Not looking to sell, I also just want to know what it is. Can’t find any info!!!

Does anyone know and brands exclusively from commissary’s? Maybe this was a promo from that. Looking for any clues.
