![This square carton box is covered with black paper with fine stippled all-over textural pattern, reminiscent of a basketball. The rim of the lid has black-and-white striped paper band affixed around the edge. On the lower right corner of the box's cover, there is a die-cut paper label with logotype. It is in black, red and metalic gold on cream background, showing a figure sitting lounging on a couch, holding glasses in one hand while the other arm drapes over a side arm. The figure is made of simple lines and has an arching row of gold circles from shoulder to shoulder. The features on their face are also simple, with semi-realistic illustration of geometric nose and downcast eyes, hair pulled back with strands around the neck. Behind the seated figure are swirls of ornamentation: small gold hearts enclosing red circles, in various sizes and overlapping each other. Underneath the couch, the company name [The Young-Quinlan Co., Minneapolis] is written in tall, slender, serif font.](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/127614_c1d6145e87da7fe9_n.jpg "The Young-Quinlan Co., Minneapolis Box And Lid")
