Before these plastic caps, they had them in rolls of red paper. I remember you could lay them out and cap them with a hammer.

@Laughman these are the ones I remember most. The ones on the rolls in the red paper

@Laughman I think I remember that too. I used to light them with matches

@CrewroomDays oh yeah! I remember that. It was like an introduction to science 101.

This is the one!

That's true and when I was a boy the roll was thicker and everyone of them popped. Years later it was hit and miss@Laughman

@CrewroomDays you could actually get them to sort of go off if you rubbed them on concrete.
