1979 Hostess L-shaped panels
 
I have recently seen multiple L- shaped panels from the 1979 Hostess set. Does anyone know if all panels were made in this format or just some of them? I know different boxes are available from different sources of snack cakes but I didn’t know if the whole set was made in a L shape nor what box the L shaped panels came from.
Thanks for any info

Only select panels are shaped like that. I've only collected the 1976 version but only 22 of the 50 panels can be found that way.

I don't personally know the number for the 1979 set as I only have four of those.

TCDB has a checklist, no idea if this is 100% complete.

As for what item they came on, I would only logically believe that the L-shaped were on east coast cupcakes just like the 76' and 78' releases. I did a quick google and can't find a picture to prove that, perhaps someone in the forum has a box or a photo. Wish I could help more, I know there are a few people that very much collect all the Hostess sets on the site that will likely chime in.

Here's a complete 1976 box sold last month on eBay, that shows the box layout for L.
