    I picked these up at a second-hand store yesterday. They were very dirty, but they cleaned up nicely. they are 6.75" tall x 4.5 inches wide, and 4.5 inches tall x 2.75 inches wide, respectively. the graphics are really wonderful! i don't know what that little half-oval image is in the second photo. do you? any ideas on how old these are or what they held? i'd guess honey candy, but who knows?

      i gues so, although i'd think it would be darker. you're probably right. thanks valentino97!
