Many years ago, I had several of the little circus-animal-themed candy boxes (wish I had kept at least 1 of them) and several of the b & w cards. The only cards I still have are a WaJo (the nicer one below) and a Joe Judge.
No Val I am fairly sure this display box was only for the little animal boxes 1922 as those were found with it buddy!

Hope you are doing super my friend!

Dan
