GENERAL INFO

In late 1960 came the 10C Sugar Container. Just in time for a late B5 NEW MODEL box, showing a large drawing of the model with red lettering on side and no background. The first C box would use the same drawing as well and still show the NEW MODEL on end flaps. However, a second C box was later made before the end of 1961 and this time, the red lettering on side was erased. The model appears a bit smaller and lines underneath add to the picture.

The D1 and D2 boxes show the correct Tate & Lyle labels on side of the blue model with what appears like silver wheels.

All boxes for this model were size 3.

RARITY

Both NEW MODEL boxes are harder to find, especially the C type one.
