1954 SUPERMAN by
Universal. One of the earliest, and finest looking pails made
- and to boot - extremely rare. This is the Holy Grail for
collectors! A MINT one recently sold for over $14,000.00 at auction!
This one is not mint, but is very, very presentable. The front has
fantastic artwork of SUPERMAN flying toward gigantic Robot. The reverse
has collage of artwork, him carrying an airliner, breaking a chain across his
chest, and smashing thru a brick wall. Licensed by National Periodicals
(DC Comics). Besides the normal, even wear and minor nicks, there is wear
all around the rims - with a bit heavier wear to the blue border of the
reverse. There is a very minor "push-in" on the upper left
corner of the front. There is a minor surface scratch on reverse, about
dead center - with another very fine one to the left. The nickeled handle
is free of rust. Interior is minor paint loss, but overall very
nice. This piece did NOT come with a thermos. overall, this one is a
solid C-7, up to C-8. There is no rust, no major dents or major

1954 SUPERMAN by
Universal. This pail was NOT issued with a thermos. The front has
fantastic artwork of SUPERMAN flying toward a gigantic Robot who is holding a
passenger bus in his hand as jets fly toward him. Flames about his feet, the
city skyline behind. The reverse has collage of artwork, Superman carrying an
airliner, breaking a chain across his chest, and smashing thru a brick wall.
Licensed by National Periodicals (DC Comics). The front ROBOT side is very nice.
The worst area is a minor rub at the far left and a minor nick at the bottom of
the "U" in the name. Minor rim wear with the worst area at the far
left front edge. No dents, no serious dings or flaws. Reverse side has rim wear
and light surface scratches. Red side panels have yellow drawings of Superman.
The illustration of him on the bottom has a scratch in his feet. The interior is
not bad, no rust. The light stains inside should clean off. This box was used as
a first aid kit for years, and there were notes taped inside - so some of the
residue is older dried up tape residue. The colors are extremely bright and
vivid. PLEASE NOTE: there was a paper first aid sign that was placed on
the front of the pail - which is why the front (ROBOT) is so bright and clean.
It was protected all these years. However, there is a very thin film -along the
edges - spotty, not every where. This is very hard to see, unless you hold it up
to the light at an angle - it is very negligible, and most people would not ever
notice it. Some of it has chipped away, and some has not. It is like a hardened
white paste - transparent and VERY thin. I have enclosed 2 close up views of the
corners, which are the worst area. I have NOT tried polishing it out, or
anything like that. The box displays magnificently, as it is. C-8+
or better, excellent plus or nicer. there are lots of photos below.
This is a beauty! 2100.00
