Nabisco issued the Straight Arrow Injun-Uities series with their Shredded Wheat products. The cards, measuring 4" wide by 7-5/16" tall were the dividers between layers of Shredded Wheat in the packages in the early 1950's. The cereal premiums were highly collected by children of the day and were precursors to other cereal inserts that are still used to this day. There were (4) different "Books" or sets of (36) cards. The cards are blank-backed with monotone colored fronts. Books 1 and 2 used blue printed fronts with books 3 and 4 having green printed fronts.
This lot is for a complete empty box of Nabisco Shredded Wheat that was the box in which the Straight Arrow Injun-uities cards were issued. The box measures 7-1/2" wide by 6" high by 4" deep. There were likely 2-3-4 of the cards in this box, used as spacers between the levels of the larger shredded wheat cereal. The box is in VGEX condition and relatively clean.
