A series of similarly designed German composition candy containers was produced during the early 1920s to which this example belongs. Some incorporated metal strips enabling a head to nod but most didn’t. (Refer to page 85 to see several others.) The blue looks quite bright making me wonder if it may have been repainted, so be sure to ask the seller to comment. I like the seller’s description - to the point without a lot of needless verbiage.
