It was in a semi-rigid aluminum clamshell, as I supposed was the style at that time for Gold Circle Coin condoms (and I'm guessing here, because I never bought any of them ever).
It was delivered in a regular business-sized envelope.
The clamshell got squished between themselves and myself, and the combination of squish-damage, sharp edges, paper abrasion, and otherwise-unadorned latex condom made me cast serious upon its efficacy in co-partner use.
The three parts were largely loose inside of the envelope: Front half of sharp clamshell (with suck logo sticker), rear half of sharp clamshell, and a condom just kind of hanging out in there somewhere.
I don't remember what teenager-me did with the actual (and seriously mostly-useless) non-lubricated latex condom that was inside of that tiny thin-metalled tin, and it may be likely that it would have been something that is positively inappropriate to discuss in polite company even today.
But I do know that its potential transport damage did not meet the much, much higher standards that were in-keeping of the rubbers that I was using with my girlfriend of that time.
So whatever came of it, I am quite sure in saying that its efficaciousness was untested by my behest.
And the tin was surely discarded. (I probably tried to keep the well-matched gold foil sticker with the suck logo, but I must have failed.)
All of the condom parts arrived, and none of the important ones were trustworthy. 1/10 on that particular freebie item.
(The orange-pink transparent is still holding on very well.)
