Tasmanian Devil - Kelloggs Corn Flakes mask (1955) - backside cutout (Australia)

This is an original Kellogg’s Corn Flakes cut-out mask from Australia, printed directly on the front panel of a 1950s cereal box. The mask features the officially named Tasmanian Devil, a bold mid-century illustration created specifically for Kellogg’s Australian market.

The design includes the classic “LOOK KIDS! CUT OUT THIS MASK” callout, red character title, and blue instructional text used on Kellogg’s 1950s mask promotions. The mask was meant to be cut from the box and worn by children — most were discarded with household packaging, making surviving examples extremely scarce.
