This invention relates to a box or reoep tacle made of cardboard or simllar suitable material and designed to contain candy and a prize package or other device, and is so constructed and adapted to be. worn by a child or other purchaser as a toy wrist watch.

The invention will be more particularly described in conjunction with the accom: panying drawings in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of' the improved box.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 22, Fig. 1, showing in dotted lines the strap extensions adapted to pass around the wrist, and

Fig. 3 is a blank from which the box or container is formed.

In carrying out the invention, the box or container is preferably formed from a suitably shaped blank as illustrated in Fig. 3. In this blank the box or container, side walls, end flaps and extension straps are all provided for in an. integral structure, and is preferably made of suitable paper, cardboard,or similar material. The box or container peferably comprises a base or bottorn member 10 having at one side a side extension 11 and end flap 12, the extent of which is determined by score lines as indicated in Fig. 3. At the opposite side and also determined by suitable score lines, there is an extension providing for a side member 13 corresponding to the side member 11,

' and a top member 14. The ends of the top member 14 are also extended'and provided with suitable score lines to form an end member 15 and flap 16, and a corresponding end member 17 and flap member 18. On the outer face of the top or cover 14 there may be printed the representation of a watch or clock as indicated at 19in Fig.

At the ends thereof, the base or body memher 10 is provided with extensions 20 and Box.

In setting up the box from the blank as hereinbefore described, the parts are folded on the score lines and the end flap 12 secured to the inner surface of the adjacent portion of the top or cover'member 14 by a suitable adhesive or otherwise, and the
