The box looks old, but not terribly one. The ash trail looks like todays snakes. If it was 75 years ago, they typically contained mercury thiocyanate and were very toxic. They were typically marketed as "pharaoh'so serpent's). Here's a video I found of a modern recreation (http://youtu.be/xI_xTTqNj6o). I think the old one's looked a lot more impressive (except for the toxic ash!)
