I recognized this as a display for the small boxes - such as used in a restaurant or hotel eatery.
Read the information on the "description" of one just like yours on Worthpoint....about it is still the property of General Foods!  (Very Interesting)

From my experience, this piece, in Great Shape would bring $50 - $85.

KC, I think they were just repeating what is written in fine print on the box. I read that when I zoomed in on this poster's pics. :P
