In 1961, after 55 years of the family-style leadership of a private
company, Planters Nut and Chocolate Company was acquired by Standard
Brands, but continues to produce a great number of advertising premiums.
These newer items of Planters memorabilia are presented here, including
those surrounding its involvement in auto racing and golf tournaments
and the promotional items surrounding Mr Peanut's 75th birthday in 1991.
This is a companion volume to Planters Peanut Collectibles: 1906-1961.
Over 500 color photographs illustrate the items, and the captions
include vital information for the collector and a range of current
values. This is a great book for the Planters collector.
