Up for auction is a vintage sealed original package of 100 King Size "Carnival" paper drinking straws, which is marked, "Mfd by Nation Soda Straw Company, Chicago, Illinois, In the Far West, Safe-T Baking Company, San Francisco 7, Calif." This package of soda straws is dated 1957, and is in excellent vintage condition, sealed and never opened, with no tears, holes, or frays. The clear cellophane window on the front allows you to see the paper straws inside, which are white striped with red, green, or blue. The cardboard box is a bit yellowed with age, but the graphics are still bright and clear featuring "Scoopy" the clown on the front, with an offer of a "Scoopy Hand Puppet" along with suggestions for "having fun with Carnival straws" on the back. Listed are games like "blow the man down", bubbles, weaving, and craft projects, for boys and girls. The price stamped in purple on the top shows that these straws originally sold at 2 / 25 cents. What a great addition to a vintage soda fountain collection. These straws bring back memories of summer days when my sister and I were children. Dad would sent us down to the corner drugstore with 35 cents. A quarter would get a pack of Lucky Strikes for him, and we each had a nickel to buy a single dip ice cream cone, or a cherry Coke! Those innocent childhood days are fun to remember! If you read more
