ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $100.00
Winning Bid: $172.08
Price Realized: $205.63
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

Matty may have been a man of high ethics and honor, but even he wasn't above selling his name, or nickname, for a little huckstering. This original "Big Six" cardboard candy box is a sweet treat for collectors hungry for artifacts of the Giants' Hall of Famer, and held "six big chocolate covered caramels for one cent" during the early 1900's. Box measures 9 x 7.5 x 1.5" and is in VG condition.
