Bond Bread Tin

[CharleyBrown]

The advertisement that is on the bread tin was featured in newspapers in August, 1948.

It was part of a trend in 1948 to feature families in advertisements.

This article from June 1948 talks about Jackie's family being featured in ads to promote Bond Bread.

Unrelated to this post, but still additional information on the set of 13: here's an article on the set of 13 that discusses the release of the set in various parts of the US

Another one of these tins ends today on eBay and the seller is (I believe) the same as the first seller. He also has laminated Bond Bread cards which he offered the first time around.

INCUGATOR — did you happen to return your purchase? If not how similar do these cards and tin look to the ones you bought?

Usually we don't out auctions until they end.

That being said, I don't like them. The color on the back of Jackie seems closer to the square backs and I don't like the look of the rounded corners.

You can see the pencil marks where someone marked the corners to cut them.

The seller had a return policy which he honored. I have a few other rounded corners cards and they didn’t seem the same. Color, paper and corner rounding was different.

I really wasn’t trying to out it, just wanted to know if the original purchase was returned which it looks like it was. I recognized this as looking very similar to the original purchase and being the same seller with such a unique background in the photos. Since there was a question about the provenance of these tins a second one would have been an interesting find.

I don't think there is anything wrong with outing this auction. It's obvious the cards have been altered and I don't think it's a coincidence that the seller waited until the past sales of the cards and tin no longer show up on ebay.

What’s interesting is they also don’t show up on Terapeak. I’m guessing that if you cancel an auction it wipes it from the Terapeak database too.

The cards maybe. If there's a question of authenticity. But not the cards and the tin. Complete bs

[polakoff]

My question of authenticity isn’t with the cards, which I believe could be real 1949 square corners trimmed to have rounded corners, but I do have questions about the tin, which I believe to be a complete fantasy piece. There’s not any record or proof of Bond Bread ever even coming in a tin like that, or the ad being used on a tin, and no reason to think a 75 year old tin would even look like that. My interest was in learning if there were 2 different tins like this, which would possibly lend credence to them being a real and recent discovery, or if it was the same tin that OP purchased. It’s the second.

Apologies if I broke a rule in outing the auction, but determining if there was a second tin or if this was the same tin OP posted about seemed like something worth figuring out.
