Tupper! Tupperware?

[Sad Eyed Lady]

I have bought a BUNCH of vintage Tupperware recently and have been sorting through the pieces, (most in surprisingly great shape), and after keeping a few I have been listing some for sale on ebay. Tonight while going through them I came across a small container of the clear plastic like they first came out in, but instead of "Tupperware" being embossed as the logo, this said "Tupper!" with the ! slanted. At first I thought it was an imitation but after finding out that the man who invented and started Tupperware was a Mr. Tupper I am now wondering if this could have been a forerunner, proto-type, or very early edition of Tupperware? I have searched google and can find nothing definite except the background and history of Tupperware and Mr. Tupper who launched it. Does anyone have knowledge of this? If so I would be very happy to hear about it!

I couldn't find anything either, SEL, but I did find tupperdiva.com. She supposedly has the largest collection of vintage Tupperware in the country. You might email her and ask her.

I just had a message from a friend in Florida that knows quite a bit about Tupperware and he has confirmed in is a very early piece. He said before it was known as Tupperware it was just called Tupper. So, a nice find for me. Thanks Blackdog Lin for trying to help me.
