Description

GREATER NEW YORK & GOETZE'S RED STAR BUBBLE GUM 2 STICKS IN 2 SEALED PACKS 20s NM NEW OLD STOCK. Here are an ultra rare pair of chewing gum packs from around 100 years ago. First is
Greater New York Chewing Gum peppermint flavor. There is 2 sticks in one pack which is highly unusual.
Each stick is sectioned into 4 squares, a child could break off a piece while an adult could choose to break off a piece or chew on the entire stick. A unique concept. I only know this since I have a broken piece and cover and can see it. You will not get the broken sticks. Your stick has t
he paper on one end is split exposing the gum a little, the other end is fine except there is the slightest bit of wear. The outer covering is colorful and almost perfect. Made by Mansfield Co around 1910 or 1920. This was probably 1 cent back in the day. Over one hundred year old double stick of gum that is not broken. Paper is brittle as to be expected. This is a very hard brand to find. Next is
Goetze's Red Star Bubble Chewing Gum which is fruit flavored. There is also 2 sticks in one pack. The paper ends are still sealed nice. The slightest bit of wear. The outer covering is colorful with very light edgewear, looks like a small sliver of paper missing on one edge. There is a pin hole you can see on the back. Made by the Baltimore Chewing Gum Co in the 1920's. This was probably 1 cent back in the day. Over one hundred year old double stick of gum that is not broken. Paper is brittle as to be expected. This is also a very hard brand to find. Goetze's is still in business making Cow Tales, their chewing gum business stopped in the 40's. 2 sticks in a pack is extremely hard to find. These are the only two brands that I ever seen that did that for unknown reasons. Please check out my other vintage items and gum. Please ask any questions that you may have. Thank you, Dave
