Happy Indiana Glass Collecting!
This measures a little over 4 1/2 inches long and stands 2 inches tall. There is no damage. It is in great shape and would be a wonderful addition to any vintage candy container collection.
FYI:
What are candy containers? Candy containers are usually small toys made of glass that were filled with tiny candy pellets. The candy is held in the glass by metal strips, screw caps or cardboard inserts. Candy containers began in the late 1800s. The Depression stopped production from 1929 until about 1939. Then manufacture started to pick up again in 1940. These glass toys were designed to appeal to children and have now become HIGHLY collectible by adults. The shapes were simple or historical in nature, some war-related, holiday-themed, many animals, doll bottles, doll furniture, trucks, cars, fire engines and more. After the candy was eaten, little boys could run cars, buses and trucks through the sand, or play cowboys and Indians with a glass gun. The girls could buy a nursing bottle for their doll, glass furniture for their dollhouses, telephones, lamps and lanterns, rolling pins, irons, or cups for drinking.
