1960's
Football Funnies
Prestige Confectioners Ltd., Dublin / Clown Football Bubble Gum
Republic of Ireland
32 wax wrappers
I've no idea when these were issued but they look like they might come from the 1960's. There's no brand on them and the backs are blank, like most wax wrappers. The person who sold one of them to me doesn't have a clue as to where they come from, if you can help identify them please get in touch. I know they probably won't be of interest to most collectors.
UPDATE (05-02-2025 12:26): I now know this collection was available with Clown Bubble Gum issued by Prestige Confectioners Ltd.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your help.
DeleteDoes these wrappers have any value
ReplyDeleteNot much, a batch of 12 sold on eBay recently for 'best offer' when the original asking price was £6.52.
DeleteI can add the picture but I dont know how?
ReplyDeleteSorry, it's not possible to add photos. I am in poor health and don't get to my e-mails very often. If you sent me a photo it would probably get lost amongst almost 700 unanswered e-mails.
