I’ve long noted how unusual it is to see this pulp candy container in near-perfect condition. I wonder if it stems from the quality or formulation of the pulp itself. Pulp is a hardy substance - just look at the many pulp JOLs that regularly pop up for sale. Many JOLs have emerged relatively unscathed through the decades. I speculate that whatever firm made this design used a different pulp formulation that simply doesn’t fare well over the years. Thoughts?
