Antique 1905 Guth Chocolate Co. First Box Ever Made - Victorian Lady Golfer - Baltimore MD
A piece of confectionery history — this is the very first box ever manufactured by the Guth Chocolate Co. of Baltimore, Maryland. Dating to approximately 1905, this extraordinary antique candy box features a vivid teal blue lid with a delightful lithograph illustration of a Victorian lady golfer in full swing — dressed in a white ruffled dress, striped boater hat, and black boots — with a decorative cannon and floral flourishes at her feet.
As the inaugural production box of the Guth Chocolate Co., this piece carries exceptional historical significance for collectors of American confectionery history, Victorian advertising art, and early golf memorabilia. The bold color and whimsical sporting scene make this a truly one-of-a-kind artifact.
Shows age-appropriate wear including corner losses and surface toning consistent with its 120+ year age. A remarkable survivor and an irreplaceable piece of American business history.
