This is a candy box that I’ve not seen before. (This wonderful seller, who has been offering some great paper items, is one that I recommend.) It is sizable and surely would make a statement in any display. A new collector who I’ve come to respect has relayed to me that he feels it was made by Ann-Dee Specialties of Bayside, NY. (Look on page 56 for a JOL candy box produced by them.) Although that may very well be the case, I feel it more probable that it was produced by Merri-Lei, a firm known for their many creations using the striated glossy paper stock found with this listing. Whichever firm produced it doesn’t change the fact that this is something rare.
04/12 Update: This sold for an astonishing $454!
