This is a really neat 1940s-era Joe Palooka cardboard candy box featuring Stanley Ketchel on the back. On the side, it reads "Packed by Comics Novelty Candy Corp. New York, NY." The box measures 2.5" x 3.75" x 7/8" and is in very nice condition. There is a small paper scuff mark on the bottom-left front corner.

It's possible that the box has never been fully opened, as I can tell that there is still a prize inside, along with what is likely some very old candy. The prize feels kind of heavy. I won’t attempt to open it, as I've tried before and damaged a few boxes. I'll leave it up to the winner to decide if they want to open it or keep it sealed.
