Acquired these at a local estate auction this past week. Thought I would share them with the forum. I remember seeing this kind of packaging when I was a kid going to Woolworths with Grandma. So I had to have it.     |

Very neat! I was in a coin shop in Arizona a few days ago and saw a cardboard holder similar to these that said 1964-D "triple D" Lincoln Penny  swcoin.ecrater.com

Very Nice, Marketing in the fifties and Marketing today. The more things change the more they stay the same. In the fifties:Woolworths! in the two thousands:Ebay!  |

Yea, I would have paid that just for the packaging regardless of what
was in there. My Grandma and I used to go to Woolworths all the
time when I was a little kid in the early sixties and I remember seeing stuff like that there. Great Memories!

What was it, Woolworths & Wilco or something like that. I remember going there. It was like the Salvation Army store.

Cool! Packaging looks like the 60s-70s? Nice they were kept in a dry place...I can tell by the staples. $10 for the 09 looks like a good buy!  |

Actually we used to have many of those 5 and 10 cent stores around when I was a kid. One called Kreskies or something like that dropped the name but kept the K and became Kmart I think. Woolworths also became something else. Would you believe it is now "Footlocker". |
