Cosmic Candy: Arto's Space Sweets Tube

Here's a brand new addition to Helsinki Base collection, a candy container tube from the 1950's adorned with space graphics. 

By rotating the tube, statistics of different planets in our solar system will appear in the line of slots.

Who said that Pluto is not a planet! (for me it will always be)

The tube measures 28 cm.

Have you anything like it?

    Blimey! If Captain Kirk says it's so then it must be! It's in his log!
