Tootsie Rolls, 24 count, retailer packaging. Issued by Sweets Company of America, Hoboken, N.J., no date, circa 1945-1960.
Two piece box, card stock, printed in brown ink, 6-1/8" wide x 10" long x 1-3/4" high. Worn; gummed paper labels with red borders on two edges added by later owner, labeled "pea huller."
No date or form code is found (or retail price), but bottom has blue ink-stamped number: 1072649. It is presumed to be a production code, possibly a batch number or order number.
The box top has promotional copy addressed to "Mr. Retailer." The direction of the edge printing makes it obvious that the top was intended to be inverted and used as a display box as the bottom tray was also intended to be used.Acquisition
