This is a rare find - a nicely preserved, thick cardboard
GENERAL STORE counter CANDY PAIL with HINGED GLASS LID.

OVERVIEW
The body is made of thick (approx 3/8") cardboard in natural state (beige-ish).
The intact BALE HANDLE is solidly attached at the pivot points on either side.
There is a copper metal reinforcing ring around the top and a metal band around the base.
The top ring is not bent or misshapen.  The bottom band has one small dent (see photos).  This band has surface rust throughout.


LABELING
The front paper label says:   24 - # WINNER CHOCOLATE
                                               Paris Candy Company
                                                       Incorporated
                                                   Minneapolis,  Minn.
                                     "Your guarantee of Purity and Quality"

Back stenciling says:               OTTO ZELLMAN
                                                     NORWOOD
                                                   6           MINN

Underside stamp:  This is very faded and nearly unreadable (see photo) and I can only make out the heading:
                                         CERTIFICATE OF MAKER

GLASS HINGED TOP
What a rare find!  This hinged, 2-section, glass lid is in near perfect condition.  
The hinge is stiff but works.  Able to open either side independently of the other!
Is marked "THE BRUMHOFF MFG. CO."  
The only flaw I see is a small broken piece on one corner.  See photos for placement and size.  

I have attempted no cleaning of the pail or the lid.
Please see photos as there are various light markings on the exterior - fly specks, water stains, dust/dirt accumulation - these may be able to cleaned, but I am leaving that to the winning bidder.  

Measures 12-1/2 inches tall (outside edge without lid).
                 12-1/2 inches diameter (outside edge at the top)
                 10-1/2 inches diameter (outside edge at the bottom)

Please ask questions before bidding as to alleviate any frustrations later on.
