This novelty glass container in the shape of a radio is a unique item produced around 1920 by the Victory Glass Co in Jeannette Pennsylvania. It is 4 1/2” high, 2 1/2” long and 1 1/2” wide. The red tin base slides out to access the candy. The three black front dials and the speaker show paint loss. Beneath the dials are the raised words Tune In. The sides are marked USA and 5/8 oz avor. There are bubbles in the glass and sealed crack lines are apparent.
