AC Plugpaks.
A perusal of this section of the site (see the link at the foot of this page) will uncover a number of pages relating to car spark plugs & gadgets (for example the Sparkmaster), the sale of plugs, new designs of plugs, and in this case, a method of displaying plugs aimed at trade sellers. In this case, it is AC spark plugs, packed into what were called Plugpaks and pitched at trade retailers and garages, that are covered. This double-sided leaflet looks like it dates to the 1950s. The illustration shown below, with a random box of plugs shown being retailed within a Plugpak, is for the circa 1948 Vauxhall Wyvern.
