These glass candy containers have all been dug up by me out of a post depression era glass dump I have located. Each of these particular pieces were a reward for the literally hundreds of broken or cracked ones that I have excavated. Finding one in tact is a real treat.
Manufacture of these items seems to have centered around Jeanette, PA. Most if not all were painted when new. I have an Army Jeep container lying around somewhere that should be with this group. finding it in my catch-all room may be more difficult than finding it at the glass dump.
Thanks for looking,

Candy Dishes and ContainersThe wonderful thing about candy, particularly when each piece is individual…
Great find and amazing condition.
Thank you scandinavian_pieces, AmberRose, packrat-place and ThriftyGypsy for the love.
Guess which one I like :)
I love the early Marmon-Herrington form it takes. Neat little vehicles that never really get much attention.
Wonderful finds! Ah, a dreamer's treasure cache!!!

I also have a nice collection of candy dishes. All of mine also say Jennette PA. I 'm thinking on average about $30.00 each. Some a little more some a little less.
Sounds like your "catch-all room"is maybe like how a dutch girl described my shop, "Looks like the last day of a yard-sale".
I do have the "willy's jeep candy piece and will show it one of these days. I would like to own all of these.
Thanks very much toolate2, blunderbuss2, pw-collector,AR8Jason, petey, ttomtucker and miKKoChristmas11!
Very nice collection!! I have the Jeep one. Sadly, the drivers head got broken and super glue'd back on. I dug it out of a trash dump behind some cabin's in an old railroad town in north Calif.
