Seven Benedict Manufacturing sugar bowls with lids.
Thought these would be great for cook outs :) always need something with lids to keep the flies off. Will use for food like shredded cheese, bacon bits, dip, sour cream and such. These were in a small box at a local GW for $10.25, couldn't go wrong for that price.
Some online info;

How old are you? Did you go to high school in VA Beach?
In my younger days VA Beach was my home away from home....use to hang out in the Kempsville area.
They are that old! Wow.
I like their ear shapes.
The Indestructo line was started in 1920.
So they can't be before then.
