1930s Double Snickers Candy Box Mars Antique Advertising Display 5¢ Vintage For Sale

RARE EARLY DOUBLE SNICKERS CANDY BOX — CIRCA 1933–1935

Offered is an original vintage Double Snickers candy box/display carton dating to approximately the 1933–1935 period.

This is a particularly interesting piece of early Mars candy and American confectionery history, featuring the early “DOUBLE SNICKERS” branding along with the slogan:

“A Milky Way Confection”

The box also displays the original 5¢ retail price, making this a great piece of early candy-store and grocery advertising.

WHY THIS PIECE IS SPECIAL

Snickers was introduced in the early 1930s, and the early product was marketed as “Double Snickers.” This makes original packaging from this short period especially desirable to collectors of early candy memorabilia.

This would be a fantastic addition to a collection focused on:

* Antique candy boxes and packaging

* Early Snickers memorabilia

* Mars candy advertising

* Vintage chocolate advertising

* Antique grocery store advertising

* Early American advertising

* Confectionery collectibles

* 1930s Americana

CONDITION

Please study all photographs carefully.

This is an old original box with substantial age and wear, and it is being sold in its current condition.

The box exhibits:

* Significant edge and corner wear

* Chipping and loss to portions of the outer surface

* Surface scratches and scuffs

* Fading and discoloration

* Age-related staining

* Wear to portions of the printed graphics and lettering

* General patina consistent with an early 20th-century candy package/display box

The graphics and DOUBLE SNICKERS lettering remain clearly visible.

I have not cleaned, repainted, or restored the box. The existing wear and patina are part of its character and history.

Please use the photographs to judge the condition for yourself.

APPROXIMATE DATE

Circa 1933–1935

I am using an approximate date rather than claiming a specific year because I have not found a manufacturer date printed on the box.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Original early candy packaging is becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly examples from the very early years of a major candy brand.

The combination of the Double Snickers branding, early Mars advertising, 5¢ price, and 1930s graphics makes this a very unusual piece for a serious candy or advertising collection.

This isn’t a modern reproduction or newly manufactured decorative piece — it is being offered as an original vintage/antique item with age-appropriate wear.

Please look closely at all photographs for the exact condition, construction, and details of this particular box.

SHIPPING

The box will be carefully packaged to help protect the fragile aged cardboard during shipping.

A great opportunity to own an unusual piece of early Snickers and American candy advertising history!
