Description
Unopened retail package of pink/red molded-plastic camping spoons, sealed under clouded cellophane on a printed yellow backing card. The card is printed in green/teal: a header reading "туристически комплект за хранене" (tourist/camping eating set) beside a stylized green edelweiss (mountain-tourism) emblem, with model, price, and standard-number fields along the bottom. Roughly a dozen long-handled spoons are visible, though the exact count can't be verified through the sealed, clouded wrapper.

Notes
Type: A Bulgarian camping/picnic spoon set; the edelweiss emblem is standard branding for "туристически" (tourist/outdoor) goods. "Модел," "Цена," and "Протокол" are typical fields on socialist-era Bulgarian retail labels (model number, fixed state price, state-standard protocol number).
