UPDATE: Looks like the auction was cancelled. At least you can see the bar in the picture (above) that I grabbed. –Brian
Found on ebay – an OLD Nestle’s Crunch bar. From the description:
Found in old house under cabinet a nestles crunch candy bar , The wrapper is not tore or eaten by rats bugs ect. Only slight color loss from age.The candy bar is fully intact not broken. Its as if the cabinet installer dropped his candy bar and forgot about it. the bar is intact not broken or opened. The wrapper has origional 10 cent price printed on wrapper. I dont know exact age only i cant find anybody who can remember when candy bars were 10 cents.
My favorite line is “i cant find anybody who can remember when candy bars were 10 cents.” That, and the fact that he stresses it’s “intact” multiple times. Currently bidding is at $3.25 and it ends in about 4 days. The reserve hasn’t been met – I wonder what the reserve is? I’m not sure what the going rate is for a 30/45/60 year old “intact” candy bar is.
I posted about an auction in January about a 15+ year old UK Snickers bar … but this one certainly wins!
I remember when candy bars were 10 cents … well, actually, I remember when candy bars went up to 15 cents and it was a big deal to a kid who rarely had more than a dime in her little pockets (this was probably 1974) … a 50% price increase is a big deal! Imagine that happening today! (Yes, the candy bars got bigger then, I guess to equalize the increase a bit.)
Looks like the post was pulled – I check on it two days before the end of the auction but now it’s gone.
