WONDEFUL !!! Antique General Store "Young & Smylie" Tin Licorice Dispenser 1877

Description

This is a WONDEFUL Antique General Store Tin Licorice Dispenser from the Young & Smylie Company of Brooklyn, New York.  It has wear in spots and a few minor dings and dents but is in
ABOVE AVERAGE
condition for its age.  It does have a small separation in the metal on the lid on the facing left corner.  This can be seen in the close-up of the 3rd photo.  It has an 1877 patent date on the back.  This container measures about 7 1/2 inches in height, is about 6 inches wide and almost 4 inches deep. The lid is hinged and still intact while the front has a glass window.  Please keep in mind that the flash pictures make this item look a little brighter than it is but you would be hard-pressed to find a better example of this container.  Plenty of pictures for your inspection.  This has been in our collection for about the past 25 years and it is time to find a new home with a new generation of collector.
