$110.00 

Remember the sugar bowl in luncheonettes or soda fountains? This is the one. My guess is that the beautiful brass lid was originally nickel plated - the brass does look great. The body is nice heavy pressed glass. As one photo shows there is an old chip on the bottom of the foot - it must be old as it is quite smooth. It is 4 1/4" tall and 6 1/2" in diameter.I remember them as late as the fifties but I think this is pre-war (II).

Lorenzy-Palanca was a company that was located in Marseilles,France and sold perfumes at the turn of the century and went bankrupt in 1930. The Peugeot 201 van was produced from 1929 to 1937. This then dates this charming promotional tin car to about 1930. While it has been described by some as a candy container-the top of the van lifts, it could also have held a perfume bottle - the ultimate packaging! The condition of the lithography and the tin is beautiful. It is 6 1/4" long and 3" high.
