Description: Rare, vintage running Easter Bunny Gurley candles. These beauties are from the 1940’s. Very few have survived the test of time. Such a beautiful addition for any vintage collector. Please note that both bunnies stand, however, one appears to be leaning forward. I am not certain if it is designed to be this way. I made certain it was available to see in photos. Please see all photos for description. Gurley, the W & F Manufacturing Company was a confectionery company that produced all kinds of candies, chocolates, and wax novelties. In 1939, Mr. Gurley was approached by the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, now known as ExxonMobil, to create a line of decorative novelty candles to help use up the excess paraffin wax that is created as a by-product from refining oil. The candles were made in Mr. Gurley's manufacturing plant in Buffalo and sold under the name Tavern Novelty Candles. It was not until 1949 that the company was renamed The Gurley Novelty Company. The new line of wax decorations was quite successful, and by the late 1940s, a vast majority of Gurley's profits were a result of his novelty candles. Please note that due to age, and delicacy of these items, I cannot guarantee that wicks will light, coloring of wax will be consistent, or all candles will stand on own. Please see all photos for description. Should there be any flaws outside of normal vintage scope, I will notate in both photos and listing description. Thank you for looking! Please see my other listings. 💗
