Antique Advertising Tins, Lot of 3 — Golden Days Coffee, Limited Brand Coffee
A trio of early-twentieth-century lithographed food tins, each maker-marked and carrying its original printed graphics. The Golden Days Steel Cut Coffee tin is a square two-pound canister with a screw-cap top, selected and roasted by Wm. Schotten & Co. of St. Louis (established 1847) and made by the Columbia Can Co. The front carries the horse-and-stagecoach trademark scene and the central Schotten's Coffee shield reading "Always Uniform — Grade Maintained — Dry Natural Roast," with the reverse panel guaranteed under the Food & Drug Act of June 30, 1906, Serial No. 10492, and the slogan "I Can Get It In St. Louis."
The tall cylindrical Limited Brand 100% Pure High Grade Coffee tin was roasted and packed by Tasty Food Products Co. of Brownwood, Texas — a regional Texas premium tin whose lower panel advertises a "FREE TOY TRAIN," the container parts assembling into a toy locomotive or tank car. The smaller four-ounce Baby Stuart Black Tea tin, distributed by Sprague, Warner & Company of Chicago, features the chromolithographed child portrait and back-panel brewing copy. Three pieces total, each a salable display piece of pantry advertising.
CONDITION
Good overall with age-appropriate wear across all three. Expect scratches, denting, and finish wear/loss; the Limited Brand red tin shows paint flaking and scattered loss, and the Golden Days tin shows surface wear and chipping to the lithography. All are empty.
