I heard this picture fetched a very high price at auction
Wish I could see the price list of ice cream for sale, but I don't know how to blow up the image.
Ice cream prices 1954
I seem to recall HK50c for a large cup of ice cream. They also carried 'eskimo pies' (choc covered ice cream wrapped in foil).

As far as I can discern (corrections are welcome), the list is:
Product Price (Cents)
1. Ice Cream L. Cup 50
2, Ice Cream S. Cup 30
3. Eskimo Pie 30
4. Choco Frost 30
5. Milk "I" Frost 20
6. Beano 20
7. Frosty Frost 10
