Glass Candy Container Resembling No. 4 Cartridge Kodak
Condition: 7 (missing rear cover, lens, paint). Glass and tripod are otherwise perfect. | |
This glass figurine is actually an early (c. 1910 or so)
glass candy container that resembles a No.4 Cartridge Kodak. The camera, complete with
tripod, is considered rare by candy container collectors. Complete examples have a
simulated brass lens, a tripod, and a black metal rear cover that slides over the back to
hold the candy. They were also originally painted with a black body and red bellows. This
particular example has had the paint removed by a previous owner. I understand that this
is occasionally done by some collectors, thinking that the containers look nicer. |
