Superman Punch-O-Bag Wrapper (circa 1940) is a rare 1940's Superman collectable made by the Lee-Tex Rubber Products Corporation. This is a wax-paper bag that was used to hold a toy called "Superman Punch-O-Bag." The Punch-O-Bag was a thin balloon with a string attached so that you could punch it. The balloon is gone; it disintegrated (as rubber tends to do over a long period of time). However, the package, featuring an illustration of Superman using the Punch-O-Bag, is still a nice collectable item. 5-in. x 7.5-in.
