Bugs Bunny - Post Grape-Nuts Cereal mask (1960s) - cutout

This vintage Bugs Bunny mask comes from the Post Grape-Nuts cereal promotion of the 1960s, when Warner Bros. cartoons dominated Saturday morning television. Unlike intact box-back panels, this example was carefully cut out by its original owner, making it closer to how children of the era actually enjoyed the premium—worn, displayed, and treasured as a playful tie-in to “The Bugs Bunny Show.”

The long ears, taped in place, emphasize the interactive design of the piece and provide insight into its original function as a wearable mask. While cutouts are naturally less scarce than uncut panels, they remain highly collectible as authentic survivors of mid-century advertising culture.

Measures: 8 x 12.5 inches
Date: 1960s
Origin: Post Grape-Nuts cereal cutout premium

Rarity: More common than full panels, but cutout examples with intact ears and clean preservation are increasingly difficult to locate today.
