    Description

    This is not like any vintage candy box I've seen before, unfortunately it's rough.  Still an interesting item.  The woman's hair seems like a style from the turn of the twentieth century, and the subject also seems art nouveau.  She is lying on a tiger skin but the skin draped over her looks to me that it has spots, not stripes.  The paper outside the cardboard top of the box is torn in a couple places, and it has scrapes and rubs here and there.  One of the corners of the lid is detached from the other side.  Please examine the photos to see the details of condition for yourself.
    The box measures approx. 7.5"x3.5".  It is not branded with the name of the candy maker, but the box maker shows up inside the box -  Brown-Built Boxes, M.A. Brown Paper Box Co., St. Louis, MO.  The inner embossed and scalloped paper ruffles are there, as well as the layer of glassine paper patterned with translucent spider webs.
    Feel free to ask questions.  I regret I'm unable to ship Saturdays.  Thanks for looking!
