This sale is for an extremely rare Antique Hershey Chocolate Salesman Dummy Sample Chocolate Bar; UNOPENED in its original wrapping. Based on its wrapper design, I believe it to be from around 1912, or a little onward, however I have yet to find another like it to confirm this. This cool piece of Advertising is the ultimate piece for collectors of Hershey /Candy memorabilia, salesman samples, Pennsylvanian antiques, & more! I personally like how the wrapper touts it as a nourishing food. The “chocolate bar” itself is actually wood, made to look and even feel like a chocolate bar, but not chocolate to avoid issues like melting. You can even feel that it is sectioned like a real bar. The design is excellent for many rooms and a large variety of decor styles. Great for framing, display in the open on a shelf / desk, etc. It makes this an excellent staple piece for your collection, one your friends definitely won’t have! A great collectors item, for use display gifting or decor.
It is in good condition, with no major damage. The wrapper has some wear from age, as expected, but it has not been fully unwrapped ever. Only small portion of an end appears to have at one time been partially unwrapped, and with the foil still present it could carefully be rewrapped like the other end. There are some small exposed areas of the wood, but no major exposed areas. See photos for exact details. No major fading or massive tears.
Thank you for your consideration, I appreciate your time. Reasonable offers always appreciated. Comes as shown, please see photos for details and measurements. Comes insured in shipment, packed with care.
