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.

Wax Paper Roll (2011.7.27)

A large roll of paper and the spindle upon which is rests. The paper is a light greenish color with a faint pattern. The spindle for the roll is polished wood and besides being slightly worn (from rolling in the metal dispenser) at its ends is in normal condition.

Stand, Book (2011.7.215)

This stand is made of a light metal. The bottom of the piece has two lips that go upwards on the sides. In between these lips there is a rippling in the metal for another piece to lock into in order to hold the object. Next to the wave constructionthe metal curves up in a loop to act as a joint for the other piece. The square metal piece that the bottom is connected to is completely flat except for a loop joint about halfway up it. This connects to the stand mechanism that fits into the base. The middle piece is what the object leans against. The metal is a little tarnished, but it still moves easily.

Set, Salt & Pepper (2011.7.204)

This is a simple sugar shaker made out of a thin and cheaper silver metal. It has a circular perforated top that can unscrew to open. The top is dented a little, particularly along the edges but still intact. There are a few rivets for the twist off feature on the sides of the shaker. The lower sides and bottom are completely plain. There is a handle made of the same material that is attached with little studs. The metal is dirty and a little pitted from use and age. The silver color is a little tarnished because of the dirt but still bright. The cap does not go on the shaker all the way but does mostly fit.

Mold, Candy (2011.7.133a)

This is a rabbit shaped mold, most likely used to make chocolate rabbits. The entire mold is made of metal and is shaped to fit the rabbit's body and pose. The block of metal is curved until the bottom half of the rabbit's body where it descends straight. This is the back of the figure and so the circles that become the connectors to the other piece which are indented. The back of the mold is where the shape of the figure is visible. The is dressed in a dress and is holding an umbrella which is pointed down on the ground. She is standing on a little outcropping of rocks and strapped to her backis a wicker basket. The hand that is not holding the umbrells is resting on her hip. The metal is a little rusted and corroded in different areas, mostly on the inside because of its use.

Mold, Candy (2011.7.132a)

This is the bottom half of a pumpkin shaped mold. The entire thing is made out of metal, most likely tin. The flat area, which would connect to the other half of the mold is an octagonal shape, but four of the sides are longer than the corner sides. On the shorter sides there are four circular indentations that are used to help connect the two sides together. Looking at the flat side the base of the pumpkin shape goes down into the metal with grooves and veins that pumpkins have. On the opposite side both the circles and the pumpkin shape are protruding. The metal is heavily tarnished and a darker silver color that the other side of it. The edges of the flat part are also quite tarished from use and storage.

Mold, Candy (2011.7.131)

This mold is for a full form once the cake or candy would have been done. The mold itself has a pumpkin shape in the center and protruding from that are flat sides making an octoganal shape, but with the square sides being larger. On those longer sides there are claps to hold the mold together. On the short sides there are little hole indentations, or protusions based on the side, that help the mold fit together. The entire thing is made of metal but is corroding so the color is a darker silver and little bits of metal and dirt fall off when handled.

Mold, Candy (2011.7.119)

This is a metal mold used for making elephant-shaped candies or chocolate. This mold has both sides and are attached. They can be seperated but the metal flap that connects them is very tight and stuck in place. The whole thing is made of a silver metal that has been tarnished over the years. Each of the sides has the elephant shape and an outer lining for the connector to attach. The lining is where the metal is flat and lies directly against the opposite side. On one side there are two small circular indentations to also help attach it to the other piece to create the full elephant shape. There are also two numbers. Imprinted vertically by the trunk is "2308" and horizantal by the tail is "22." The elephant itself is somewhat small. The two legs are close together and the tail tucks down. The ear protrudes out futher than the rest of the body and has rounded edges. One eye is visible and just a small indentation. The trunk curves up under the neck touching it and there is a small tusk that does not extend past the trunk. The metal on this side is tarnished, although not as bad as the other side. The opposite side of the elephant is basically the same thing just reversed. The circles connecting the sides are protruding and underneath the connector is another one. The elephant is facing the opposite way and the "22" is still near the rear. There is some writing near its head but its been worn away a little bit so it is hard to make out. This side of the mold is darker and much more tarnished than its opposite. The bottom of the mold where the feet are is hollow and open to the interior.
