Joe K. Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 maybe already known, I only could find 1953 in timeline looks like a firm date notation to me, also printed on other man from mars boxes? . I believe this 8-7-52 date is correct, martijn. Good eye! Here's the 1952 Sears Christmas catalog sighting: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dratomic Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Those dates are great! It's too bad more manufacturers didn't put dates on their products. Clearly, none of them were thinking about us poor, mad collectors! :) EDIT: I just checked my blog post on the Shooting Man From Mars and I already had 1952 as a production year. I must have gotten that date from SOMEWHERE, so apparently the 1952 date was already established. However, I've no idea where I found it... For all I know, I was going on information provided by another collector. It's nice to see the year so solidly confirmed. (And the month!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
