This is a flattened cardboard tube package that once held a Barratt's Sherbet Fountain. Produced and sold in the UK, these can occasionally be found in import shops in the US, and certainly in Canada - although they are now sold in plastic tubes. This comes from the "Munktiki Collection", a large lot of consumer goods packaging saved and stored by Californian Paul Nielsen during the 1970's. I acquired this collection in the Spring of 2009, and have documented its contents since. For more on Paul's current activities, check out www.munktiki.com.
