This is a train (well, it looks like it) and is made from tinplate, so maybe it is allowed here? It contained 2 pounds of 5 different types of cookies (Lebkuchen) made in Germany; I ate them all.

Lackerli Huss is the famous Swiss biscuit maker that also is also well known for their collector tins. In 2011, they produced a tin replica of the famous Swiss crocodile loco in roughly gauge one demensions, though somewhat smaller. The engine is green and has much lithographed detail, including simulated roadbed and two raised pantographs. Really nice conversation piece for my trainroom!
Hopefully, another forum member can post a photo of this tin! THANKS in advance! :-)

And you didn't share? Hmph ...
For the record, my biscuits were fresh, but I did not care for them so I would gladly have shared! LOL!
THAT'S IT! THANK YOU SNCF231E! :-) It was not cheap by any means ($100+) with shipping and import duty, but I am glad I got one!
The shipping was the biggest cost factor, as I recall!
I'm confused 
I think my " Grandmother used the term as "code" to talk about "cookies" before dinner was served, etc.. She didn't make biscuits, she baked rolls.
The Kroc might make for a good Marx-bash

TOO costly for a "bash"! LOL :-)
Maybe not.
If you consider the price placed on most new tinplate, let alone the price on Krocs, plus how pretty the shell is; I think you'd come in under $200, and easily under $250 for low hour or unused motors... and be running what you want instead of kicking at rocks and wishing for it with biscuit breath 
Maybe not the deal of the century, but it might not empty old cookie jar of it's savings
And if your in the habit of spending $100 on "goody tins" as is; who cares? 
The biscuit tin Kroc was definitely an impulse buy, but only after I had previously owned an ACTUAL green Marklin Gauge One Kroc! It had digital sound and control but I could not afford the power and control system, so like the biscuit tin Kroc, it became an awesome "eye candy" model! It even came with its own track and display board! Some models are just great to look at.....
