Sunni Enlightenment

I previously wrote about Bud the Bus Driver's estate sale where I found the sealed box of vintage animal crackers. Bud and his wife also had a nice collection of vintage Halloween.  Among it, I found these 2 Suni candles which were produced in the late 1970's and early 80's.

I wrote a little about the Gurley company and few years ago and their comparison to Suni candles.  At that time, I had the same ghost, but not the witch.  I also didn't know anything about the Suni candle company.  This sale changed that because of another candle I found with these two.

That Jack O' Lantern candle is also a Sunni candle, but it has it's label still.

So I now know that Suni was a division of W&F Manufacturing Company.  I've written about W&F several times over the year.  They were makers of wax novelties such as the Wowe-e Whistle, Nik-L-Nips, Wax Teeth and Wax Lips.  They also operated as Gurley Candle.  So the similarities in their candle designs is no longer a mystery.  Apparently, W&F operated under several names including their own name, Tavern, Gurley, Glenn Confections, and we now know also under Suni.
