The packaging provided with new Staticmaster brushes evolved over the years with some changes simply reflecting taste or marketing strategies. Some afforded practical improvements, or later in particular they reflected efforts at cost cutting. The original packing carton featured a deep red exterior (shown above left) that prominently bore the company name “Nuclear Products Co.” When the brush and handle designs were changed in the Fall of 1952 the provided carton for the 3 inch model was finished in silver that more prominently featured the Staticmaster trade name, and below that in smaller type was the company name all in green print. For the 1 inch brush Nuclear Products Co. provided a carton with a silver on black with red trim scheme through March 1955, by May 1955 this was changed to a yellow on black with red carton as shown above left of center.
From about May of 1957 through 1969 the brushes were provided in a clear plastic hinged lid box
that set was packaged in a natural paper carton sleeve. Some of the early plastic cases provided with the larger 3 inch brush bore the embossed message on their lid “THE POLONIUM STRIP DOES THE TRICK”. Then through the 1970’s these were sold with an orange-red carton; neither of the latter made any mention of Nuclear Products Co.
