Tomahawk- Kelloggs Corn Flakes mask (1954) - backside

Issued in 1954 as part of Kellogg’s colorful mask promotion, Tomahawk reflects the mid-century fascination with Westerns and frontier themes. These masks were printed directly on the backs of Corn Flakes boxes and designed for children to cut out and wear, bringing the excitement of Saturday matinee cowboys-and-Indians adventures right to the breakfast table.

Like other Kellogg’s masks from this era, it remains a fascinating piece of cultural and advertising history—an artifact of how brands engaged kids long before digital media. Surviving examples are scarce, especially in good display condition, since most were cut out and discarded after play.

Measures approximately 8.5" x 11". Bright colors with expected edge wear from age.
