Red Fox (Indian Foe to The Lone Ranger) - Wheaties Cereal mask (1950s) - backside

From the thrilling days of yesteryear, this rare Wheaties cereal mask features Red Fox, a dramatic villain from The Lone Ranger universe. Issued in the 1950s as a cut-out premium on the back of Wheaties boxes, children could bring their favorite Western heroes and foes to life.

Unlike the Lone Ranger or Tonto masks, which appear more often, Red Fox is one of the scarcer Wheaties-issued villains. With fierce expression, bold war paint, and vibrant colors, this mask captures the era’s pulp Western storytelling and Saturday morning imagination.
