Vintage Novelty Heinz Baked Beans Pencil Case

A true novely item, this is a vintage pencil case made of a flexible rubberised plastic in the form of a can of Heinz baked beans shaped into a pencil with a removal rubber top for the eraser. Immediately recognisable in terms of branding, it most likely dates from the late 1970s or early 1980s.
In good overall condition with some minor signs of age and wear, particularly to the “eraser”, the pencil case measures approximately 23 cm (9 in.) in length with a diameter of approximately 4.5 cm (1¾ in.).
