[displayfireworks1]

I was following this item and it sold for $845.43 USD unbelievable.
This is a rare old Red Fox Firecrackers label. It is a 16 x 1 1/2" package label with graphics of a Fox holding a large firecracker and has " Made IN China Exclusively For Wilfong Fireworks Fort Worth, Texas. This is a neat piece of firecracker memorabilia in very nice condition with minor wear

Pfffff the price is really a no sense... too much for only 1 packet
Do you have an idea of the year of the production? the label is funny

If you look at the bid history you can see the winner first entered into the bidding at $345.00 USD . I am sure he now realizes he got carried away and bid more than he expected to. I wish I knew the history on this pack, the last time I talked with a collector he told me there are many "Rare" firecrackers. What makes this one special I do no know.

One reason Wilfong firecrackers are scarce is that they blew up in the late '40's and I believe for good as I have not seen Wilfong crackers made in Macau (Class 2 from the Korean War Era 1950-1953) . They imported Happy, Longhorn, Red Fox, and Samson brands, all from old China, and of the four Red Fox is the hardest to find. Samson is the easiest.http://www.pyrotalk.com/bulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=1371&stc=1
