Willards Sweet Marie candy bar VINTAGE METAL SIGN chocolate advertising display
Authentic vintage metal sign measures 2 feet x 3 feet very large / not a reproduction. History as best I have learned. The Willard Chocolate Factory opened in 1917 in Toronto Canada. To complete with chocolatiers at the time they inserted sports card in their packaging (one of the first to do so). Yes about the sign. It was rescued from a warehouse in Toronto years ago. (not the Willard warehouse / which now a parking lot). The previous owner indicated it was from the 1930’s which coincides with the release of the Sweet Marie. This is not a reproduction / you can not replicate this almost 100 years of history. Sign measures 2 feet x 3 feet / has rolled metal edges / and is lightly embossed. Local (to me in Orangeville) free, pick-up is available. This will make a great display piece in the man cave / she shed or retail display.
