Candy Containers
Westmoreland duplicated buildings from the neighborhood to make these tin buildings which had glass inserts and held candy. The tin was ordered with the lithograph in place and then assembled at the factory.
This very rare pointed racer candy container was made in the mid-1920s. When found it can be found in different period colors as well as clear glass as pictured.

This selection of Westmoreland candy containers features the railroad lanterns on the top shelf and has a mailbox, opera glasses, candlestick, and a handled drum on the bottom shelf. These were produced from the mid-1900s through the 1910s.

The first and third candy containers from the left are West Brothers' products. The far left candy container is a bird whistle. It is missing its tin whistle and enclosure. The Circus Bear would have a rubber tube for a child to blow into which would cause the fan to circulate while being held by the bear.
The Toonerville Trolley and Pappa Rabbit candy containers are the product of Victory Glass which coincidentally, was located only about a mile from Westmoreland in Jeannette, Pennsylvania.
The Charlie Chaplin candy container on the far left was produced in great quantities by the West Brothers. This variety has Charlie painted in all silver paint instead of the traditional different colored paint.
Barney Google and Spark Plug are Victory Glass products.
The Liberty Motors Candy Container is a wonderful example of Westmoreland's design ingenuity. The wings and nose both come off and candy was placed inside of the fuselage..
