This ceramic ram was produced to promote or advertise "Thibenzole", a product of Merck, Sharp and Dohme (Australia) Pty Ltd. Thibenzole is an anthelmintic or anti worm drench produced by MSD and launched onto the market in early 1962. It was promoted as being useful against most worm varieties and for being tasteless, odourless and easy to use. Presumably this ceramic ram was used as either a give away by MSD salesmen or as a shop countertop display.Ceramic ram advertising Thibenzole, a sheep drench produced by Merck, Sharp & Dohme (Australia) Pty Ltd, 1962.
