This storage container has two parts, a lid and the base to be used for storage. The whole container is made of a clear glass. The lid is square in shape and on each side of it there are arch-like designs that extend outwards. There are two of these on each of the sides, each decreasing in size as they come farther out. The area where the lid fits into the base is simple and is a rougher glass to provide a seal. The opaque nature has worn off in certain areas from use. There are some areas of dirt on the inside of the lid, but not enough to make the whole thing less translucent. The base is made of the same clear glass and is more of a rectangular shape. The base also has the arch design, but only on two sides. They are more elongated due to the taller height of the base as opposed to the lid. On the base there is a circular indentation that goes up a little, into the jar's interior. As with the lid there are textured areas of dirt that has embedded itself into the jar. The areas are not restricted to one area of the base but appear in different areas and patterns. The merely fog the glass a little, they dont make it opaque.

Contract (2011.7.188)

This is the original lease for Alex's Candy Shop. The lease is framed in a dark-stained, wooden frame and is lined in an inner, red framing. The lease begins with "This Agreement," printed large, in bold, in the top left hand corner, with the rest of the lease a mixture of typed generic lease wording and written, specific information. Information on the Lease: Signed on May 1, 1906 between Joseph W. Filetz and John Rassogianis for the discussed property in Chicago, IL in Cook County. The lease exptends from May 1, 1906 to May 1, 1911 for the sum of $3,600 payable on the first of every month to the office of Joseph Filetz. At the bottom of the lease, in the right hand corner, both Joseph W. Filetz and John Rossogianis signed their name. On the back of the frame is a wire attached on both ends of the frame by two small rings, used for hanging purposes, in addition to a silver sticker in the bottom, right hand corner, that reads, "Carlson Paint & Art Stores Quality Printing."

Set, Salt & Pepper (2011.7.201)

This is a pepper shaker made out of white milkglass and a metal lid. The glass itself is in a rectangular shape and has ridges on the flat edges because the corners are rounded. The ridges provide grip and more dimension to the functional aspects of the object. On one of the sides there is a diagonal strip where the ridges are flat so a label can be attached. It once said pepper but now only "pepp" is visible because the end is no longer attached. The label is silver and embossed to spell the word. It also has a border around the edges that is just a simple geometric square border. The cap is a silver metal that screws onto the bottle by spiral ridges. On the top there are holes for the pepper to come out. Due to age and wear there are also some stains and rust on the top and in the grooves on the sides.

Candy Jar (2011.7.35)

Large glass jar, probably used for storage of candies of one form or another. The jar is not too dissimilar in shape to a tiny wooden barrel. In fact, the seams in the glass mimick the look with two skinny bands wrapping around the bottle and numerous wider, bowing bands running up and down the bottle's length. The top of the bottle has the threading for a metal top, but that has been missplaced.
