El Head Quaker Oats Bowl (1945)
Premium
Giveaway with 10 Quaker Oats Box tops to promote Eagle-Lion Studio's El
Head movie serial, Phantom Head of the West. The Serial was unfortunately
never finished and so never released. The 2500 manufactured bowls were
distributed as straight cereal premiums with some 800 being distributed
in the United States. The rest were donated to Japanese War Orphans. This
is one of the root causes of the El Head mania that swept Japan in the
Sixties and Seventies. For more on the Japanese obsession with the El Head
character read the article El Head, Western Character conquers the East,
Esquire Magazine April 1981.
