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
