I'd never realised how fantastic firework packaging was until I found the Firework Heritage Museum - a wonderful site by Steve Johnson devoted to 60's, 70's and 80's fireworks, "Original Pains, Brocks, Astra, Rainbow, Standard, Wilders, and Wells Fireworks, Labels and Boxes".
It's not just the bold, bright and somewhat lo-fi graphics that are great either - some of the names are brilliant...

So great! I love that Brock's Blazing Wigwam. :)
Thank you for your wonderful post. Having been in the fireworks trade for over 20 years, designs/artwork has changed so much, it makes you wonder whats next :-)
