With the coat of arms of Warsaw:

 

Maybe saccharine wasn't even around when they were made??????? But then I don't know their age........

 

60s, 70s? In the 70s the link between saccharine and cancer was discovered, I don't know if it was still used after that.
By why would you need two saccharine containers?

Maybe they are for jam and marmalade?

 

sorry should have listed photo of inside

 

look like toothpic holders....or missing an insert ...

 

I found this on Wikipedia.

As a result of flawed studies in the early 1970s linking saccharin ... with bladder cancer in rats, the United States Congress mandated warning labels on products containing the sweetener. The label requirement was later repealed when no evidence was found linking saccharin with cancer in humans.

Yes, it's still used. My sister drinks Tab, still sweetened with saccharin.

 

Saccharin tablets are still available, the tiny quarter-grain size is usually used since it's equivalent to a teaspoon of sugar - saccharin boxes are typically small and shallow, this item would not be for saccharin...
