    A friend brought me this tonite. It's pretty cute and in perfect condition, except for water stains inside. i'll never understand why so many planters were made w/ no drainage holes. makes no sense to me whatsoever, but it's still a pretty cute little planter w/ mushrooms and a faux wood design.

      I think cuz there are no drainage holes -- it was used a Florist item. You know like those Lambs, or lambs with carts that you Florist used.

      yes, i think you're right antiquerose! so many are called 'planters' but they make more sense as florist vases.

      LOL...or Florists Planters..

      I had posted a *Relpo Halloween Planter* a long time ago here.....I think....

      I've got a Lefton Xmas planter, no holes. I think they were meant to hold artificial plants and/or silk flowers. Back in the day, artificial flowers were commonly used more so than natural plants.

      I have the same planter dated 1970 but the number is 6470. So what do the numbers mean? Production runs? Limited additions?
