Description Lot of 2 antique Silver Chime Gum advertising box tops from the Pioneer Gum Co. South Omaha, Nebraska, dating to the 1890s-1910s. These lithographed cardboard lids once topped bulk counter display boxes of 40 packages each. Authentic antique gum advertising (not reproductions). Bold graphics: “Silver Chime Gum – A Delicious Aid to Digestion – 40 Packages”. Both are original box tops (lids only, no bases). Printing remains strong and displayable (see photos). Collectible crossover appeal for gum & candy advertising, Victorian store displays, and antique ephemera collectors. A scarce opportunity to obtain two matching examples of this early gum advertising box top.
