I think that question was from the same person as here !!  Wording was the same !!  I have looked for these and have found nothing either. I wondered if they could have been produced for a speciality market ?? Military bases or one of the sales projects for schools, similar to the chocolate bars that some do for band activities !!  Will check on some of those later !!  We are still looking so don`t give up yet !!

Correct, that was me on SCF posting the same thing. I've been a member there for years and usually some people there are pretty good with that stuff. No such luck though. I do appreciate the effort everyone is putting in. I'm still trying as well. Just coming up empty everywhere.

It looks like the airplanes we had models of late 50`s early 60`s !! Is there a mfrs name ?? Cant read the small print !!

Unfortunately there is no manufacturer name on here. I'm guessing it was on the top or bottom flap, both of which were cut off so the box would fold the way it did. I am going crazy trying to find information out about it. It is like a small treasure hunt.

Does anyone have ANY information on what these are or how old they might be? I have googled until I can't google anymore and have found nothing except for a 1936 screenplay called Things To Come which only mentions "Wings Over The World". I'm guessing they are from the 50's or 60's but maybe older? Maybe more recent? My grandpa seems to think the popcorn was unpopped kernels that you would cook on the stove or possibly airpopper (depending on age). Makes sense since the boxes are only about 3-4" tall. The backs of the boxes had 1 collector card of an airplane or war plane with information on it. There was a set of 12. Any information is appreciated!
