| Appraiser Comments: | You have a Novelty Candy Container made ca 1920. These pieces are collected by both Toy and candy Container and advertising collectors. Your piece is in fair condition the worn paint and condition of the wheels do detract from the value. There is no price as to the sentimental value placed on a family piece. |
