Old Pencil Shaped Pencil Container

Hello all,

Haven't been here for awhile. Was in an estate sale in Tampa and I bought this cool old pencil shaped pencil container. There is a message from the old owner in Spanish that this was bought in 1928. I believe it to be some kind of advertising piece. It says Kinney Shoes. This thing is approximately 1 ft long. Kinney shoes has been in business forever up until recently. I can not find others like this. I sure there are other ones like this with a different company advertisement on it. I got it for 5 dollars. It is so cool.
