An old celluloid price tag, shaped like a coat of arms, with red and black lettering reading "Nougat du Canard Sauvage – les 125g" (Wild Duck Nougat – 125g). Its retro design and expressive typography evoke the shop windows of confectioners and nougat merchants from the early 20th century. The reverse side features numbered rollers, still present, for indicating the price per kilo. An object that is both decorative and a testament to the history of the food trade.
