Featured Does anyone know what this is?

I have been trying to figure it out for quite a while but no success. I have found very similar "spaghetti santa planters" but I cannot find this exact one. I have googled the numbers on the bottom and every description I can think of. Any help would be appreciated. I would really like to know if it's worth anything.

 

Either a planter or something to hold candy - like candy canes. My family had one similar, but I don't remember if it had "spaghetti."

 

Time period is 1960s

That's definitely what it is alright. The only thing that's bothering me is I can't match up the numbers at the bottom or find an identical picture.

Could it a be a one off?

Hi and welcome Classicmike.

 

Thanks everyone. Great forum btw.

 

He could be a toothpick holder, a planter or even a spaghetti holder, Cris!

I was just trying to help @Classicmike find a spaghetti Santa!

 

Definitely a cutie planter. So many Japanese makers copied each other to make similar items that were popular back in the 60's.

 

Spaghetti refers to the texture. Like the spaghetti dogs.

 

Yes, i knew @i need help - I took it as a little challenge...

 

Just explaining for new members.

 

Now that I think about it, I believe I had a similar one that was a bank
