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.
