Even as an adult I learned that the company who made these never meant for kids to get a free sucker if you turn this in.
Yet when I was a kid our local convince store did honor this. If you got the Native American with the star I could turn it in for a free one.
Well for us it was the star and the native, but the star was always next to the native so some would say to find “look for the indain with the bow”
