Vintage Halloween Cellowax Jack-O-Lantern Party Favor candle box toy not candy

It is so great to see a rare item like this being offered on eBay. I’ve only seen this box now four times since I began collecting in 1988. I actually offered a box in rougher condition but with its correct candle in my recent March auction. That brought $366. A couple of things to note with this listing. It looks like two of the box’s interior flaps have been reinforced. One appears to be missing. Also, the candle included in the lot is not the kind of candle that would have been originally sold with the box. (I’ve included two photos below of the correct candle.) That said, the box is the gem - not the candle. I have a near-mint box and candle in the collection - and the set is a real showstopper. I hope this listing brings the high dollars it deserves!
