A large, metal, display tin from France, for retailing of the powdered bouillon mix. Second-hand.
What's for sale?
This is a large, metal, display and retail tin for Le Bouillon Kub, the French powdered bouillon mix.
The contents were 50 celophane-wrapped packs ("barres"), each containing five smaller, 6.3 gramme packs ("l'unité") of le Bouillon Kub. A time saving, instant bouillon when added to water.
This large tin contained 250 of the small packets, so was intended for shops to retail the packs of five, at 6 francs each.
It's a mid-century retail tin, probably in use from the 1940s to 1960s.
