Howdy Doody - Kelloggs Corn Flakes mask (1950s) - cutout (variation 1)

Straight from the golden age of television and breakfast cereal promotions, this vintage Howdy Doody mask was printed on the back panel of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes cereal boxes during the mid-1950s. Cutout variation, trimmed, strung, and ready for use — a true survivor from a time when most were quickly discarded after play.

Featuring the freckle-faced marionette who became America’s first true TV superstar, the mask is brightly lithographed in period colors with original string ties still intact. These masks brought the Howdy Doody gang directly into homes, making breakfast time a daily adventure for children.
