Life Savers Candy Truck

Marx Life Savers Candy Stake-bed Truck: circa 1950’s, 9” long

This red plastic truck with black rubber wheels sold for approximately $.83 in the 1950’s. The truck is marked in white on the passenger door with the words “Life Savers” however what makes the truck so unique is that it came with 10 packages of real Life Savers candy in it, needless to say it’s difficult to find the original candy along with the truck. The candy in these photos is not original. The Life Savers truck box advertises in large letters “A TRUCK FULL OF LIFE SAVERS” and shows the stake bed truck with ten rolls of Life Savers candy.

This truck is difficult to find complete, I believe I have only seen one mint version of this truck with the original candy load and all of the stakes to secure it onto the back of the truck.
