Antique Pick of the Week: McKinley Rice Box
I wish I had more info on this week’s Antique Pick of the Week. It’s a McKinley rice box. I wonder if it could be turned into a roasted nut dispenser or cotton candy machine. Yum.
The tag said:
Rice storage and measuring box $45
Here’s a zoomed-in shot for you. It’s a bit rusty, so maybe it’s not cut out to be a cotton candy machine after all.
Do you know anything about this antique? Also, if you bought it, what would you use it for?

Sweet find. Maybe it just dispensed rice? Cedar and I went on an urban hike today - meaning we walked all over our downtown area. We went in a bunch of old shops but I didn’t see JC worthy. We did see some crazy stuff though. Cedar wanted a scale that told fortunes.

The rice box is a bit ugly, isn’t it?
The urban hike sounds cool. The scale that told fortunes reminds me of the movie Big.
