Yes, that's exactly what it is. I wonder if it has contents, or is it just the container?

there was a thread not long ago, I think by Skypurr, explaining all about this cones. I suck at searching, sorry I can't link it.
But it was very informative!  :clover:

I saw these before. They're sold at the Fun Park. It's like a box of chocolate: you never know what you gonna ge-eet! ;-D
except here you can expect a top agent figure. Some kind of loot bag for children parties IMO.

These cones are gifts for a child (not the teacher) on his or her first day of school.  Here is a fuller explanation from Wikipedia:   Schultüte (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schult%C3%BCte)   :)

Glad to be of help!  It's amazing the new things we learn just from enjoying Playmobil.  I first found out about these cones when this set came out many years ago:   Set 4618. (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Product-Detail?pid=4618-A&cgid=)  I am pretty sure that the original source of my education was a discussion about it on the now defunct Playmoboard - that's how long ago it was!  ;)

I cant rememebr my first day at a Greek School  which was shortly after moving to Greece from the UK.. It was quite difficult for me this time in general at school  , I rememebr this , as I didnt speak very good Greek and I was quite alienated because of this...  BUT what  i can also remember is that my parents for quite some time back then used to buy me a single Klicky pretty much every day from the same shop near my house  :love: :love: :love: and that klicky was waiting for me when i returned to our house on my desk !!!!! I must have had about 300 of klickies  by the time I was 6 or 7 i think ....!!!!!

Now we have final confirmation that great collectors are made, not born!   ;D

You were a lucky young fellow, George, to have such wonderful parents.  Now we also know why your English is so good!   :)
