These 2 old product cartons were made by the Baltimore Butterine Co. and were never used. One is marked GOLD TINT For Frying and Shortening. The other was made to hold a pound of VITA OLEOMARGARINE. Both cartons are still flattened and each is waxed which is how the product stayed fresh. These measure 10 1/2 by 11 3/4 as they are but can be folded into boxes for display. Great old advertising products for a country store or a country kitchen.

In 1950, you could send in your photo, 25 cents and a Nabisco Shredded Wheat Box Top to get this STRAIGHT ARROW gold nugget Picture Ring. They'd superimpose your photo to look like you were in there with Straight Arrow and his palomino horse, Fury, in the secret golden cave. This ring doesn't have a photo inside...just the lens. Words STRAIGHT and ARROW are engraved around the ring. This is slightly adjustable...measures 7.5. Ring is gold-dipped. This was left over after the 1950 promotion...
