The biggest herkin' candy box I've ever seen and other estate sale finds

Oh, baby, did I hit some fun estate sales today! {***insert happy little dance here***}
One was from a founding family in a nearby town, so there was 100 years of cool accumulation, in a house that was destined to be demolished. Sad, considering it was DARLING!!! They're probably still slip-and-sliding on the drool spots I left in the kitchen. The built-ins...the NOOKS...the moulding...sigh.
Anyways...here's what I found:

The magazine has some fabulous pictures and ads that will find their way into my collages. I found this old Gerber baby food jar (with a vintage Dennison label on it that would have been incentive enough for me to buy the jar) of teeny-tiny mercury glass ornies:
This sweet little couple:
More frogs:

A bundle of seam binding, twill tape and Fagot tape (I know...WHAAA?). I mean...one can NEVER have enough FAGOT TAPE, right? I just ran out of FAGOT TAPE the other day, and said to myself "Girl, you need to getcha some more FAGOT TAPE, pronto!" And there it was!

****side note: don't bother looking it up...you will get NO links to vintage sewing supplies...just trust me on this one, 'kay?****I really don't think it has anything whatsoever to do with sex. I'm just sayin'...

A few more of those cool metal cups...

A cute train case, sheet, Kewpie doll and millinery flower:

The second sale was just as good. I found a hat!!! I LOVE it!!!! I rarely find hats at estate sales, so {***insert another little happy dance***}.

Here's a close up of the millinery flower and some crocheted trim:

some sweet little silverware:

Heeeeeeere's Kewpie!

And here is the BIGGEST herkin' candy box I've EVER seen! This puppy is a whopping 18"x18"! Can you imagine how much chocolate was in this thing? You have to wonder...does this say "love" or does it say "here, have a 50 pound weight gain", right? I mean, really...talk about overkill.
