Title: Strange Pressed Glass Object, Car? Carriage, Pram?
Post by: Gill on July 31, 2007, 09:15:53 PM

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:

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.  :D  Thankyou Max as well as you came up with it first , I've never heard of them before!
