Packaging Charms

PackagingCharms

A revelation to me that supermarket gumball machines once contained miniature consumer packaged goods.

These photos from Eureka Gumball Charm Nirvana are only a small sampling of what’s out there for collectors of tiny supermarket charms.

(Some display cards, after the fold…)

Note the old fashioned “grocer” in the card on the right: a charming illustration, but in a world of self-service supermarkets — he is historically one of the people replaced by packaging. (See: Fallout Shelter Packaging)
