L.E. Smith Green Glass Turkey Covered Dish Vintage Thanksgiving Candy Dish with Frances Brundage Postcard

This vintage L.E. Smith green glass turkey on nest covered dish comes with an antique Frances Brundage Thanksgiving postcard. The glass has no chips or cracks on the rim and the wattle is complete, while the postcard has stains, foxing, and edge wear, as the photos show. L.E. Smith introduced its Tom Turkey design in 1943, and this bright green was popular from the late 1960s through the 1970s. The lid lifts off a footed nest base with molded wings for nuts, candy, or cranberry sauce, and the postcard shows a wide-eyed boy wrestling a giant turkey above "Thanksgiving Day Greetings," with a handwritten note from an aunt and uncle on the back.
