German Tin Litho Football Shaped Old Candy Box primitive tool This antique Japanese lacquered tabletopAlways a sucker for an interesting box, I really love this little tin litho football. The perfect thing for your favorite athlete to carry Ibuprofen in! I believe it dates to the 1930s and originally held candy. Made in Germany. Some small dings and scratches as there should be.
