"A clever candy container made in Germany shows Santa in a red jacket 
perched on a zeppelin or rocket ship. He is holding a feather Christmas 
tree. Feather trees were out of style by the end of the 1920s, and the first 
zeppelin was made in 1900. The red suit and trim were standard apparel by 
the 1920s. Since candy containers of all types were made in Germany after 
World War I, it is likely the container was made in the 1920s. It is a very 
desirable collectible that sold recently for $770."..
