Topic: Strange Pressed Glass Object, Car? Carriage, Pram?

[Gill]

Just one more, another little thing I picked up at the weekend. Can't quite make out what it is, car, pram or carriage. It is hollow and has no base, maker? age? I suppose it's just ornamental but not terribly striking. The phrase ."Neither use nor ornament " does spring to mind. Couldn't resist it though!

I wonder if it's one of those items that used to have sweeties in it?  I had a little glass horse & cart once that served that purpose when new.  Just a guess though!

I think it's a match striker, hence the stripes up the front of the hood, but whether car or pram  :huh:

Well spotted!

I would say pram.

Thankyou everyone, the match striker is an interesting idea, I must try it and let you know

Thankyou once again Ivo, you always seem to come up with the answer, great website too. I'm pretty sure now that it is a candy container, still struggling to find out what sort of vehicle it is, looked under the wagons and miscellaneous etc.. Maybe it's super rare Lol.    Thankyou Max as well as you came up with it first , I've never heard of them before!
