West Bros. Village
In 1914 the West Bros. Company produced a series of 16 different tin buildings. The windows in each building were cut out to allow the buyer to view candy which was stored in
a glass container inside the building. The glass container was held in by a wire clip called a 'grasshopper' which fit into slots at the bottom of each building.
In 1986 the remaining stock of these buildings were found unassembled in a barn in Jeanette, PA. along with the original machine to assemble them. The stock was bought by
Walden Hill Country Store, who then assembled the flat stock and proceeded to sell them.
As a result E&A 807-813 and E&A 815 are very common in todays market.
