Step back into the colorful charm of the late 1960s with these incredible and original Kamar, Inc. cardboard retail display boxes, dated 1969 and printed in Japan. These rare, New Old Stock (NOS) boxes were discovered during a vintage store cleanout and have never been used. Originally designed to house small collectible toys, the contents are long gone—but the boxes remain as vibrant, whimsical, and versatile as ever.
Featuring iconic Kamar character art, including wide-eyed dolls and animals with mid-century Japanese flair, each box is shaped like a mini house with a peaked roof and carry-handle design. The sides are printed in warm retro tones of pink, orange, and red, adorned with graphics that ooze vintage personality.
Whether you're a vintage toy collector, retail display designer, or a creative upcycler, these boxes make fantastic gift packaging, party favors, craft storage, or nostalgic décor.
Rare packaging survives far less than the toys — intact display packaging from 1960s Kamar is uncommon, especially in quantity.
Nostalgia & artwork appeal: The Kamar characters and saturated mid-century Japan graphics are collectible on their own.
Ideal for crafters and sellers who want vintage-style packaging to enhance the presentation of their own handmade or collectible items.
Printed in Japan and clearly dated 1969 — that’s a credibility and quality bonus.
