Maker Unknown Mopey Dog Marigold Candy Container Bottle

When I was a child in the late 40’s, we could buy a Mopey Dog filled with tiny, colorful, polka dotted candy for a nickel at the Saturday Matinee.  There was a cardboard tab on the bottom of Mopey Dog that you would remove to get to the candy contents.  I don’t recall seeing one that was iridized but back then I was interested in the candy and would have thrown the bottle away.

There is another version of the Mopey Dog Candy Container similar to this Mopey but with a screw-on lid.  I would think this was targeting adults as the screw top would be more expensive to make.
