A Double-sided salt-shaker?? I'm stumped....

[Yooper14]

My strange find from Friday. What is this? It reminds me of salt shakers I find, but it has a screws on top and bottom. The bottom is closed. Maybe they screwed a base on it?

I'm posting some closeups of the lettering and what I think it says as well.

Thanks for your help on this one.

Heres the first lettering...it's on the bottom third of the side.

And here's the base.

It looks like a lantern candy container, probably Victory Glass Co., Jeannette, PA.
Look at the red & blue in the center. Click on the pictures to enlarge.

tnc,
By golly I think you're right! Interesting. I'd've never guessed!

Thanks so much!!
