Notes on the 1913 Glass Cash Register Candy Dish

 

 
1913 Rowland Glass Cash Register Candy  Dish

This item is the single most expensive cash register collectible I have seen.  Actual value is $500 to $600  as listed in 'Collectors Guide to Candy Containers' by Deszo, Poirier, and Poirier. I have seen this sell on eBay for well over $400! I don't actually own this but it's on my wish list.

Below is a reproduction of the original patent for this candy dish. What an amazing find! While surfing eBay I located a reproduction of the original patent for the glass candy dish plus remaining patent text and drawing pages describing this invention in detail. 

It reads: 

 “Specification for Design. Patented Dec. 30, 1913.

Rowland, a citizen of the  United States, residing at Indiana, in the county of Indiana and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new, original, and ornamental Design for Toy Candy-Boxes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part thereof. The figure is a perspective view of a toy candy box showing my new design. I claim : The ornamental design for a toy candy box as shown. Edward J. Rowland. Witnesses: E. R. Sutton, H. W. Thomas.
