Viva-Tone Timeline

Dixon Viva-Tone colored pencils were made in Canada from the early 1950s. The Canadian trademark registration says the name was in use as early as September 25, 1950. They were probably made until the late 1980s.  During this time, there were a number of different packaging styles. Below is a rough timeline of the different styles of packaging that I'm aware of. It is based mainly on old newspaper and catalog advertisements.

I only have packages of the first and last version. Bob Truby has a version of the second style of packaging from the early 1960s on his BrandNamePencils website.
