On the last day of school before Christmas vacation, or after a Christmas program at school, Sunday School, or at Church on Christmas Eve, these cloth handled boxes were given to children. Filled with one piece of chocolate, two or three pieces of hard candy, and peanuts in shell were enclosed in the box. Not much to a child today, but back then an amazing gift.
4.00 by 1.75 by 3.00", and in very good condition, considering this is indeed something very ephemeral and almost a miracle it was saved and preserved.
These American candy boxes being listed today are vintage, not reproductions. I guarantee that. I start all my auctions at .99 cents as it is an auction and I just never cared when I went to live auction and the auctioneer started very high, and then spent time backing down to get a bid.
I am more than happy to combine postage to save money.
Just let me know you are multiple bidding and I will invoice you when you are finished bidding and wish for me to send the items. Then, I will combine postage and send to you, and send final invoice. If any questions about this, please email me.
