This is a glass and aluminum candy container in the shape of a railroad lantern. It stands approximately 4" tall. Please refer to the photos for condition. Perforations in the lid allowed use as a salt/pepper shaker once the original candy was consumed. These containers were also popular as Christmas ornaments. Embossed lettering on the glass states "3/4 oz avdr." and "Pat. Applied For". This item would make a great decoration in your home or a unique gift.
