| The pictures show views of this 1957 Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes Cereal Box Front With Soldier Prize & Bonus Painting. The first picture shows the front panel of this 10 ounce cereal box. The second picture shows the back of this cardboard panel. We had acquired six different old cereal box front panels with this Artist's paintings. This is one of them. This is a very interesting, signed, dated, painting on a classic and nostalgic Kellogg's cereal advertising box for children. There is just so much that can be said about this item. This is ONLY the front panel of the cereal box. There is the ''GR-R-REAT!'' advertising character Tony the Tiger, bright and bold. A Post Korean War Soldier plastic playset figure prize with the same pose on the cereal box front. This is the advertising on the store shelf that a child would have seen. If you are reading this perhaps you were that child back then. A signed and dated unusual original painting on the back (box inside). The painting is of ''HOLLYWOOD'S FRENCH THREAT'' Film Actress Corinne Calvet (see below). The painting was created on Sunday, August 11th, 1957 by Francis Tierney. A One of a Kind piece from 1957.
