Helen Elliott Candy // nothing C949
Candy Store in North Plainfield, NJ suposedly sold out to Gertrude Hawk Chocolates
Helen Elliott had several stores, one right in Paramus NJ, only 1 mile from my house back in the 70's. It
moved to a much smaller store in the early 80s and closed a few years after so only the main store in
Plainfield was purchased by Hawk. alexm40

This is an excellent find of a pristine
"International" Harvester, "See's Candies"
delivery truck that was produced in 1987 by
"Ertl." I haven't ever seen a scale metal
truck this nice! It looks as though it only
had minimal playing time, if that! There are
chrome wheels on the truck and all trim,
windows, and labels are intact. The rare,
double steel doors on the back are present
and working! The truck measures about
10 1/4" long, about 4 1/2" high, and about 3
3/8" wide. This truck would make an
excellent addition to any collection and is
certain to impress anyone who sees it. You
have found a gem!

Coin Bank. Made by ERTL Die Cast Metal.
I'm not sure of the scale, but it's
approximately 8" long. Excellent "LIKE
NEW" condition--no damage of any kind.

This is a delivery man on motorcycle - he
comes off. Attached to the motorcycle is a
delivery "wagon" with windows on the side
and double doors that open in the back.
Looks like this is made of metal and plastic
and is a bit on the heavy side. The wheels
move, so this delivery man will roll across
the floor with a little push!

Afternoon,
As a kid I remember lugging cases or Helen Elliott Candy hammers from the back stock room to the from of the store when the
Sales Girls would pack coal candy. I worked there on and off for 15 years. My Mother was the President of Helen Elliott Candy for
about 30 years. It brought back a lot of memories to see your hammer. Chances are I carried it at one point in time.
