Tupperware 'Midget' Miniature Containers, c. 1970s-1980s

Story

In 1946, a chemist named Earl Tupper looked at a piece of black polyethylene slag—a waste product of oil refining—and saw the future of the American kitchen.

Maker / Origin

Earl Tupper was an eccentric inventor, but the brand's success is largely credited to Brownie Wise, the marketing mastermind who became the first woman to appear on the cover of Business Week.

Condition & Value

The containers appear to be in good vintage condition with no visible warping or significant staining. The seals look intact, which is the primary driver of utility and value for these pieces. Excellent condition for these everyday items is common but necessary for the high end of the estimate.
