Carr China was located in Grafton, W.V., and was in business from 1916 to 1952. (Click here for more information about Carr China.)

This is the only flip-top container made by Carr that anyone we know has seen. It is 5 5/8" x 3 7/8" and is the Esquire pattern. It was probably made in the 1930s.

It was distributed by Ideal Restaurant Supply Co., and the lid was manufactured by Utilities Specialties.
