Description: Same shipping charge no matter how many margarine figures you buy -- see below. VINTAGE GERMAN MARGARINE FIGURE Measures approximately 1-3/16" tall. Shortly after Cracker Jack started putting plastic prizes in its popcorn product in the United States, plastic flats and stand-ups were inserted into packages of oleomargarine in Germany and other German speaking countries as an incentive for people to buy their brands beginning in 1950. Other retail products -- such as tobacco and alcohol -- used them also, but they were widely called "margarinfiguren" (EN: margarine figures). Eventually the margarine companies came to an agreement to stop putting prizes in the products, a practice that ended in 1954. In just a few years, hundreds of series of prizes were produced with thousands of individual shapes. I collected these prizes for many years. I have purchased many collections directly from Germany and other parts of Europe. All of the items I sell are sent well packaged by first class mail from my home in Kansas, USA.
