Jimmy Scott (Blackpool) - Kelloggs Corn Flakes Masks of Famous Clowns (1955) - backside (UK)

This vintage cut-out mask was printed on the back of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes boxes in 1955 as part of the “Masks of Famous Clowns” series. It features Jimmy Scott, a performer of the celebrated Blackpool Tower Circus, one of the UK’s most famous and longest-running circus venues.

The Blackpool Tower Circus, opened in 1894 beneath the iconic seaside landmark, became a hub for world-class clowning and acrobatics. Jimmy Scott was among the popular faces of the mid-20th century troupe, bringing his unique humor and character to audiences in the golden age of British circus entertainment. These Kellogg’s promotions allowed children to “become” their favorite performers by cutting out and wearing the masks—an ingenious fusion of marketing and play.
