This one seems to be a rarity. 888 double window, has U.S.A over second from the front left wheel. On right side over second from the front left wheel it has AVOR 1 1/4ozs. The original red metal strip is still with the locomotive. Measures 4 3/4" long x 2" tall 1 1/2" wide all at longest tallest and widest points. I can see no cracks or chips that do not appear to be actually part of the glass making process. I saw a lot of locomotives but never one quite exactly like this one, maybe I just didnt look far enough, maybe it is a rarity. I do know it was in a machine shed from at least 1930 until a year ago and I imagine it was a childs toy before then, as it was packed with toys that date to the early 1900's.You may have it join your candy container collection.
