Antique Questions Forum / Starlite mint tin

« on: August 09, 2007, 10:17:23 pm »

A tin from my grandma that has a sticker on the bottom that say starlite mint co. I assume the candy co. had a limited edition on these. I have yet to find one anywhere or anything on them. It is about the size of a cigar box a little taller though. And has very nice design detail in red and white. Any clues???

Antique Questions Forum / Cast Iron horses(old roller coaster)

« on: August 09, 2007, 10:08:15 pm »

I have 2 cast iron horses on wheels. They resemble some type of old carnival ride. My son saw a special on coney island and said he saw a roller coaster ride in which it had horses like these. If anyone has any info please share it with me. They have a star molded into the side and appear to have been re-painted all white. I'm not sure what the original color was. Thay move up and the wheel stays on the ground.  They are in a running motion.
