I love finding props etc and have some collectible stuff myself. I hate to burst a bubble but the font on your box is the one I downloaded to create the Wonka Bars/Labels. If you LOOK REALLY LOOK AT THE BOX SHOTS FROM THE MOVIE study the "R" in the Bars word and look at the Hat In the logo on the MOVIE BOZ and then yours. THe donwloaded font does not have the hatching effect in the hat and if you look at the general curvature of the letters it does not quite match. BUT... I will say even as a fake it is still cool to have. I kept several of my prop bars and the Golden Ticket I created!Shawn Anthony Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561491129742296769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-11306745267105767892008-10-29T17:07:00.000-07:002008-10-29T17:07:00.000-07:00If you don't mind, I'd be curious to know what you...If you don't mind, I'd be curious to know what you paid for the box.

They had me design several Willy Wonka promotional outdoor games. One was a giant nerds box with little plush nerds you catapult with giant half cut gumballs mounted nerds rope seesaw at the targets on the giant inflatable box. Another thing I designed was a machine called that Laffy Taffy pull. It measured your pull strength. Another was this air booth, pretty similar to one of those booths people go in to, air is blown in and money flies around. I even got to actually work on building some of the things like airbrushing est. It looked really cool. I have my original drawings someplace.K_tigresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435524324162761134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-70307698926460428572007-08-24T14:43:00.000-07:002007-08-24T14:43:00.000-07:00Man, you find the cooooolest stuff!
