German Tin Litho Football Shaped Old Candy Box cobbler's model whatever one wants to call

whatever one wants to call this one

which exactly matches the mark of mid-century ceramicist Marc Hansen

While it would certainly be wonderful to have a complete (very rare) set of these old Ives and Company "Military Ten Pins

but it could be polished further

The burlap is shedding a bit and the red thread on one arm has come a bit unravelled

German Tin Litho Football Shaped Old Candy Box cobbler's model whatever one wants to callAlways a sucker for an interesting box, I really love this little tin litho football. The perfect thing for your favorite athlete to carry Ibuprofen in! I believe it dates to the 1930s and originally held candy. Made in Germany. Some small dings and scratches as there should be. Opens fine and closes tightly. 2 1 4" long x 1 1 2" across.
