    Need help identifying vintage cereal premiums

    Any vintage cereal premium experts here? These are my Mom's from when she was little. Probably Late 40s to early 50s range. I'm thinking Cheerios or Rice Krispies. I have a bunch of them in several colors. I put a quarter in the pics to show scale.

    The first set are trains. A streetcar (which I now see I had going the wrong direction), steam train and a more modern train. The side cars connect to the trains



    The second set is planes. The big grey one is marked DC-6, green navion, yellow XF-89 and the red is an F9F. I found a box that shows a Cheerios airport.

    Cheerios: Cheerios Airport

    But the planes are not the same.



    Last is a car and a semi truck. The car looks like the family car from Christmas story.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  Thanks! We have a bunch of her farm toys too. Auburn Rubber farm animals and what looks to be Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone. I'll have to post some pics. They're really neat and are actually made out of rubber. Not plastic like Marx or MPC.

                  That's plane I have in that auction. I have several in blue and grey. Seller doens't know exactly what it is from either. Lots of detail on them for the size. Even tiny molded propellers.

                      I vaguely recall having those planes in my parents apartment above the garment factory in Toluca, IL in the early 70's. For some reason I associate them with Dudly Do Right. Did he have a cereal?

                          Hmmmm....

                          I think the smaller planes MIGHT be from a really old package deal, like you'd buy army men.... in a hanger bag. I remember getting ones like them at Woolco as a kid.

                              I think if you go to Cereal box and premium collecting message forum cereal box archive and post they can tell you. Google to make sure I have address right. It is a Cereal fans site. Good Luck!
