Description
**Hershey's Collectible Train Set and Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Glass**
This lot consists of vintage Hershey's promotional tin containers shaped as a train set and a commemorative zoo glass. The train includes a "Hershey's Transit Co." passenger car and a "Hershey Chocolate Company" cargo truck, both featuring detailed lithographed graphics with period figures in the windows. The tins are constructed of painted metal with gold-colored wheel accents and measure approximately 11-12 inches total length × 3 inches height × 2.5 inches depth based on the ruler shown. The second image reveals golden metallic interiors, indicating these were likely cookie or candy containers.
The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo commemorative glass features etched and gold-filled animal designs (tiger and giraffe visible) with decorative paneled sides and ornate borders. The glass appears to be standard drinking glass size, approximately 4 inches height × 3 inches diameter. Both the glass and train tins show good vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with age but no major damage visible.
Based on the graphics style and manufacturing quality, these items likely date from the 1980s-1990s. Hershey's promotional tins from this era typically sell for $15-35 each depending on condition and rarity, making the train set worth approximately $30-70. The zoo commemorative glass would typically retail for $5-15. Total estimated value for the lot: $35-85 USD in the collectible promotional items market.
