WILL'S CHOCK O BLOCK WRAPPER 2

Hi Woodsy

Re. yesterday's mystery Chock O Block wrapper post, Reader Lewis thinks that the gold wrapper may be from the back of the McVities captain scarlet chocolate bar set , and I think he may be right , as these wrappers came to me at the same time. 

Do other Moonbasers concur?

  1. If that's the case, it seems odd that there's no McVities branding on the ticket, and what are the Super Six and Choc a Block elements referring to ?

    1. It's a different company too, Super Six were made by Scott Young and Co, not McVities. Although the material does look similar. Bill

  2. Relevant registered trademarks:

    Choc a block was registered 15 /12 / 1960
    Super six choc a block was registered
    9 /5 / 1965

    Currently trying to dig up more info, but it looks like they were solid choccy bars.

    1. I'd never seen these wrappers before! Because we can't post pictures in the comments I can only send this MB link which features the chocolate bars I was talking about!
