every Valentine's Day, teh Philadelphia area-based Whitman Candy Company puts out Peanuts and other cartoon (Warner Brothers) commemorative Chocolate boxes. These are little Heart-shaped boxes, about 4" x 4" across, and a bit over 1" deep. They come in dark pinks and reds, with a selection of Peanuts cartoon themes. I collected these for a few years, and they are sturdy little boxes, clean and empty, with a liner for candy, and I pull them out each year to decorate. These are 2 that I have doubles of. One is red metallic, with Sally presenting Linus with a Heart Shaped Valentine. The other is Pigpen smiling amid a field of messy, dirty hearts. These are newer, from the 1990s, but the Pigpen one has a copyright date on the art work, 1954. Very cute.
Also part of this auction is an original paperback Peanuts comic book, 1970 printing of a 1958 work, "You've Done it Again, Charlie Brown". You will note the artwork on the cover is an earlier era Lucy and other Peanuts girls. Charlie Brown looks not especially unlike today. After the 50s, he kind of settled on his look. THe cover pic is copyright 1970, so it was probably done for this printing. Book is in fair used condition. Slightly dog-eared, and with former owner's name inside front cover.
Thanks for looking. Please check out my other Peanuts items, too. Shipping giddily combined, always!
