This is a really nice circa 1910 glass candy container. And a very cool souvenir from Lake Grinell New Jersey. Imagine today being able to visit some place and be able to pick up a cool item like this to document your visit! I would love to know the story of the day this was purchased back in 1910 and who got to eat the candy!! Nice flashing and nice gold work noting the place it's a souvenir for. This barn lantern is one of my favorites! I love buying how these everyday items became these really special remembrances. It does have its original bale (some bend-some light oxidation and it does have its original metal closure and cardboard insert. The metal base does have some dent and oxidation but all in all nice a century old!! On the one arm there are 2 very small FACTORY ding/chips. I know these are factory because they are overpainted with the original gold paint. I looked at it under my loop. All in all an awesome lantern candy container. Not including the bale it measures appr 4 1/2” tall and appr 3” side to side measuring at the widest point. The metal bale adds another appr 2 1/2” from the top.
