The Phoenix Candy Company of Brooklyn, New York issued a number of candy boxes--largely in the late 1960's into the 1970's. Typically, the series were eight boxes in size with the occasional (6) or (12) box set. The boxes of candy--in most instances have a theme for the set and included candy and plastic novelties inside the box. Non-sport.com lists 21 different Phoenix candy box sets with a wide array of topics. The later series all seemed to revolve around television or movies. Each box within a given set has a character from the television series or movie and the boxes are almost always numbered within the series.
This set of "Flash Gordon" candy boxes was issued by Phoenix Candy in 1978. The set is in largely VG to EX condition with most being around VGEX.
